The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Chapelle dépendant de l'ancien couvent des Cordeliers, datée du 13e siècle avec des parties du 15e et une chapelle Renaissance. Toutes les voûtes subsistent. Le mur pignon ouest a été reconstruit. Celui de l'est était évidé d'une baie dont il reste en grande partie les réseaux. Les riches décorations du 15e siècle se voient dans ce qui devait être le choeur (piscine, portes). La chapelle Renaissance conserve un retable de cette époque.

History
Chapel dependent on the former Cordeliers convent, dated to the 13th century with parts of the 15th century and a Renaissance chapel. All the vaults survive. The western gable wall was rebuilt. The eastern one was hollowed out by an opening of which the tracery remains largely intact. The rich decorations of the 15th century are visible in what must have been the choir (piscina, doors). The Renaissance chapel preserves a retable of this period.
