The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'abside du 11e siècle a perdu sa voûte. A l'entrée, l'arc doubleau reposait sur des colonnes demi-cylindriques portant des chapiteaux à personnages et à feuillages. Le mur en hémicycle possède, à sa partie basse, une rangée d'arcatures à chapiteaux variés et, au-dessus de ces arcatures, trois fenêtres en plein cintre à colonnettes.

History
The 11th-century apse has lost its vault. At the entrance, the double arch rested on half-cylindrical columns bearing capitals with figures and foliage. The hemicycle wall has, in its lower part, a row of arcading with varied capitals and, above this arcading, three round-arch windows with small columns.
