Historique
Du 11e siècle subsistent l'abside polygonale et les amorces des murs de la nef, en avant de l'arc triomphal. Les baies sont cantonnées de colonnettes sans bases, portant des chapiteaux cubiques sculptés. Un sarcophage gallo-romain forme le devant de l'autel.

History
From the 11th century there survive the polygonal apse and the beginnings of the walls of the nave, in front of the triumphal arch. The openings are flanked by small columns without bases, bearing cubic sculpted capitals. A Gallo-Roman sarcophagus forms the front of the altar.
