The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette chapelle dépendait de l'hospice Saint-Jacques qui servait autrefois aux pélerins de Compostelle. Elle se compose d'une nef unique. La façade est surmontée d'un pignon et épaulée de deux contreforts biais. Elle s'ouvrait à l'origine par un portail en arc brisé. Ce dernier fut bouché en partie et remplacé par une porte en anse de panier. A l'intérieur, les voûtes sur croisée d'ogives reposent sur quatre colonnes sans chapiteau.

History
This chapel depended on the hospice of Saint-Jacques which formerly served pilgrims to Compostela. It is composed of a single nave. The facade is surmounted by a gable and braced by two slanting buttresses. It originally opened by a pointed arch portal. The latter was partly blocked and replaced by a basket-handle door. Inside, the rib vaults rest on four columns without capital.
