Historique
Chapelle mentionnée dès le 13e siècle mais son origine est probablement romane. En 1571, elle fut ruinée par les Calvinistes puis rétablie au 16e siècle. Le choeur de cette dernière période était recouvert d'une voûte à cinq branches dont les ogives retombaient sur des colonnes engagées. Les chapiteaux portent une décoration de style flamboyant.

History
Chapel mentioned from the 13th century onwards but its origin is probably Romanesque. In 1571, it was ruined by the Calvinists then restored in the 16th century. The choir of this latter period was covered with a five-branched rib vault whose ribs rested on engaged columns. The capitals bear a decoration of Flamboyant style.
