The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'emban est intérieurement cerné par une banquette de pierre qui devait servir aux réunions de la communauté. Un mur élevé à l'ouest protège l'avant-porche de la pluie et du vent. La porte est en arc brisé. A l'intérieur, le plan à file de colonnes centrales formant deux nefs égales, est inspiré des Jacobins de Toulouse. Les nefs sont couvertes de voûtes du 15e siècle.

History
The emban is internally encircled by a stone bench which was to serve for meetings of the community. A wall raised to the west protects the vestibule of the porch from rain and wind. The door is in pointed arch. Internally, the plan with a file of central columns forming two equal naves is inspired by the Jacobins of Toulouse. The naves are covered with vaults of the 15th century.
