The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice comprenant nef, transept avec absidioles et abside demi-circulaire. Le clocher est monté sur la travée qui précède le choeur, voûtée d'une coupole octogonale sur pendentifs. Le bas-côté de droite, édifié au 15e siècle, paraît n'avoir jamais eu ses voûtes achevées. Les murs latéraux portent néanmoins les retombées de ces voûtes préparées et sculptées d'animaux représentant les Evangélistes.

History
Building comprising nave, transept with absidioles and semicircular apse. The bell tower is mounted on the bay preceding the choir, vaulted with an octagonal cupola on pendentives. The right aisle, built in the 15th century, appears never to have had its vaults completed. The lateral walls nevertheless bear the springing points of these vaults prepared and sculpted with animals representing the Evangelists.
