The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Crypte du 11e siècle. Clocher du 18e siècle. Au milieu de la crypte, composée de chambres caveaux avec arcades en plein cintre, coule une fontaine que la légende indique comme étant miraculeuse, et sans doute antérieure au monument.

History
Crypt of the 11th century. Bell tower of the 18th century. In the middle of the crypt, composed of chamber vaults with round-arch arcades, flows a spring which legend indicates as miraculous, and doubtless earlier than the monument.
