The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
De la partie romane la plus ancienne subsiste la nef avec son portique à plusieurs archivoltes sculptées. La nef et la travée du 12e siècle ont été englobées au 13e siècle dans la construction d'un choeur très développé, de style angevin. Une coupole à pendentifs sert d'appui au clocher roman du 11e siècle, dont la flèche est flanquée de quatre clochetons.

History
Of the oldest Romanesque part there subsists the nave with its portico of several carved archivolts. The nave and the bay of the 12th century were enclosed in the 13th century in the construction of a very developed choir, of Angevin style. A dome with pendentives serves as support for the Romanesque bell tower of the 11th century, whose spire is flanked by four small bell turrets.
