The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
En 1892, des réparations sur l'édifice révèlent dans les sous-sols les traces d'un temple romain. La chapelle se compose d'une nef avec un bras de transept au sud, débordant légèrement le chevet. La façade du clocher est percée d'une porte avec accolade. Le clocheton présente un petit campanile sans pointe ni dôme, surmonté de cinq croix. La porte sud de nef, ainsi que la fenêtre du chevet sont ogivales. Le réseau ou fenestrage au-dessus du meneau unique présente une combinaison de trois trilobes, lesquels font supposer que cette partie peut remonter au 14e siècle.

History
In 1892, repairs to the building reveal in the sub-basements the traces of a Roman temple. The chapel consists of a nave with a south arm of transept, projecting slightly beyond the chevet. The façade of the bell tower is pierced with a door with ogee moulding. The small bell turret presents a small campanile without point or dome, surmounted by five crosses. The south door of the nave, as well as the chevet window are pointed. The tracery or fenestration above the single mullion presents a combination of three trefoils, which suggest that this part may date back to the 14th century.
