The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'examen du portail roman permet de supposer qu'il existait primitivement une église de construction romane devenue trop petite. Au 13e siècle est construit un choeur garni d'une galerie composée de cinquante deux colonnes. Le choeur a été réuni à l'église romane par une nef étroite. Le collatéral gauche présente deux chapelles du 13e siècle, et deux du 16e. Le 15e siècle est représenté dans une porte latérale au midi. Fragments de vitraux des 13e, 16e et 17e siècles. Le clocher se compose d'une flèche moderne remplaçant celle détruite par la foudre en 1788, reposant sur une tour carrée du 16e siècle.

History
Examination of the Romanesque portal allows one to suppose that there formerly existed a church of Romanesque construction that had become too small. In the 13th century a choir was constructed fitted with a gallery composed of fifty-two columns. The choir was connected to the Romanesque church by a narrow nave. The left aisle presents two chapels from the 13th century, and two from the 16th. The 15th century is represented in a side door to the south. Fragments of stained glass from the 13th, 16th and 17th centuries. The bell tower comprises a modern spire replacing the one destroyed by lightning in 1788, resting on a square tower from the 16th century.
