The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le mur à la gauche du choeur conserve, dans un arc brisé, une fresque large de 3, 45m et haute de 3, 25m. A droite, Saint-Christophe portant l'Enfant. Au-dessus, le Christ succombe sous la croix, avec, à ses côtés, un personnage casqué vêtu d'une robe. A gauche, en haut, Sainte-Catherine s'appuie de la main gauche sur une épée ; derrière elle se trouve une roue. Ces fresques paraissent dater du début du 17e siècle.

History
The wall to the left of the choir preserves, in a pointed arch, a fresco 3.45m wide and 3.25m high. To the right, Saint Christopher carrying the Child. Above, Christ succumbs under the cross, with, at his sides, a helmeted figure clothed in a robe. To the left, at the top, Saint Catherine leans her left hand on a sword; behind her is a wheel. These frescoes appear to date from the early 17th century.
