The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le chevet semi circulaire ainsi que les murs nord et sud sont les restes de l'édifice roman primitif. Le portail sud porte la date de 1783. Le chrisme du tympan de la porte romane primitive se montre à l'intérieur de la nef, au-dessus du linteau droit de l'entrée. Le bas-côté nord est un ajout moderne. Sept arcatures romanes ornent le fond du chevet, pourvu d'un autel primitif, et abrité par un lambris plat, la voûte ayant disparu soit pendant la guerre de Cent ans, soit pendant les guerres de Religion.

History
The semicircular chevet as well as the north and south walls are the remains of the primitive Romanesque building. The south portal bears the date 1783. The chi-rho of the tympanum of the primitive Romanesque door shows itself inside the nave, above the straight lintel of the entrance. The north aisle is a modern addition. Seven Romanesque arcatures ornament the depth of the chevet, furnished with a primitive altar, and sheltered by a flat ceiling, the vault having disappeared either during the Hundred Years War or during the Wars of Religion.
