The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'église se compose d'une nef avec collatéraux et transepts peu saillants, d'une abside centrale et d'une absidiole nord mutilée. L'absidiole sud a été détruite et la sacristie a été édifiée à son emplacement. Cette église semble appartenir au style roman dans la majeure partie de sa construction. L'influence du style de transition se manifeste à l'intérieur par la disposition des arcs de la nef et des bas-côtés.

The text above is the record as published by the Ministère de la Culture, in French.

The church comprises a nave with collateral aisles and slightly projecting transepts, a central apse and a mutilated north absidiole. The south absidiole has been destroyed and the sacristy has been built at its location. This church appears to belong to the Romanesque style in the greater part of its construction. The influence of the transitional style manifests itself internally through the disposition of the arches of the nave and the aisles.
