The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Eglise en forme de croix latine, composée d'un choeur roman, d'une nef et de deux chapelles du 15e siècle. Les peintures murales, situées dans la chapelle de droite, représentent des scènes de la Passion. Dans l'absidiole du choeur, peintures à fresque du 13e siècle. Ces figures sont superposées et assises sur des parties de verdure correspondant au fût d'un arbre qui pourrait être un arbre de Jessé. Cette superposition confirmerait la tradition locale selon laquelle toute l'église aurait été peinte de l'histoire du Christ, dont se voient, dans la chapelle, les derniers épisodes dus à une époque plus récente.

Church in the form of a Latin cross, composed of a Romanesque choir, a nave and two chapels of the 15th century. The wall paintings, located in the chapel on the right, represent scenes of the Passion. In the chevet of the choir, 13th-century fresco paintings. These figures are superimposed and seated on areas of foliage corresponding to the shaft of a tree which could be a Tree of Jesse. This superimposition would confirm the local tradition that the entire church would have been painted with the history of Christ, of which can be seen, in the chapel, the final episodes from a more recent period.
