The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le choeur, de la fin du 10e siècle, est formé d'une nef voûtée, flanquée de deux bas-côtés plus étroits. Le tout a été remanié au 17e siècle, mais les voûtes sont primitives. Un clocher très archaïque s'élève sur le vaisseau central. La partie supérieure de la tour date sans doute du 12e siècle.

History
The choir, from the late 10th century, is formed of a vaulted nave, flanked by two narrower aisles. The whole was modified in the 17th century, but the vaults are original. A very archaic bell tower rises over the central vessel. The upper part of the tower probably dates from the 12th century.
