History
The choir belongs to the 12th century. It comprises a deambulatory lit by narrow windows placed between the three radiating chapels. This deambulatory is covered by a barrel vault cut through by square transverse ribs resting two by two on the columns of the choir. The nave dates from the 14th century, and bears a bell-arcade with four openings.
