The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Il existait, au Moyen-Age, un hôpital dédié à Saint-Jean-Baptiste, destiné à mettre en observation, pendant quelques jours, les pélerins soupçonnés de maladies contagieuses. Au nord de l'église se trouvent les restes des murs ruinés. Le portail plein cintre, à triple voussure, servant d'entrée au cimetière, appartenait également à l'ancien hôpital.

History
In the Middle Ages, there existed a hospital dedicated to Saint-Jean-Baptiste, intended to place in observation, for a few days, pilgrims suspected of contagious diseases. To the north of the church are the remains of ruined walls. The round-arch portal, with triple voussure, serving as entrance to the cemetery, also belonged to the former hospital.
