The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le plan indique que l'édifice roman a été très remanié, notamment au 15e siècle, par l'adjonction de quatre chapelles et d'une petite pièce formant une sorte de trésor. Un portail du 15e siècle a remplacé le portail du 12e. Le clocher est un mur ajouré du type dit "en peigne". L'abside, incomplète suite à un effondrement au sud, comportait à l'intérieur cinq pans sur trois desquels s'ouvre une absidiole. Au-dessus de ce soubassement court l'ordonnance d'arcatures avec colonnettes isolées. Un bandeau la couronne à la naissance du cul de four. A l'extérieur, le mur est circulaire mais divisé en cinq travées par quatre colonnes engagées.

The plan indicates that the Romanesque building was very much altered, notably in the 15th century, by the addition of four chapels and a small room forming a kind of treasury. A 15th-century portal replaced the 12th-century portal. The bell tower is a pierced wall of the type known as "comb-like". The chevet, incomplete following a collapse to the south, contained on the interior five bays on three of which opens an absidiole. Above this base runs an arrangement of arcatures with isolated colonnettes. A band crowns it at the springing of the apse vault. On the exterior, the wall is circular but divided into five bays by four engaged columns.
