The fourth bay and the choir are vaulted with ribs with liernes. Resting on clusters of three colonnettes with polygonal capitals decorated with two rows of crockets. The clusters are received by corbels with human masks (14th century). The seigniorial chapel is composed of one bay vaulted with ribs with liernes with resting on colonnettes with polygonal capitals decorated with foliage (15th century).
