The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Quatre gros piliers circulaires forment une nef avec bas-côtés. La nef est couverte par un berceau continu contrebuté par les berceaux perpendiculaires des travées des collatéraux. A l'extérieur se trouvent deux sortes de contreforts : ceux qui correspondent aux doubleaux sont visiblement rajoutés ; les autres, peu saillants, devaient recevoir la retombée des arcs extérieurs, disposition des plus fréquentes au 12e siècle. Le choeur se termine par un mur à trois pans. Les murs latéraux du chevet ont été percés au 15e siècle pour la construction de deux chapelles funéraires.

Four large circular pillars form a nave with aisles. The nave is covered by a continuous barrel vault buttressed by the perpendicular barrel vaults of the bays of the side aisles. On the exterior there are two types of buttresses: those corresponding to the ribs are visibly added later; the others, little projecting, must have received the springing of the exterior arches, a disposition most frequent in the 12th century. The choir terminates in a three-sided wall. The lateral walls of the chevet were pierced in the 15th century for the construction of two funerary chapels.
