The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église, construite entre 1355 et 1362 à l'emplacement d'une première installation dont certains éléments ont été repris (colonnettes du portail ouest) , est un vestige de l'ancien couvent des Cordeliers. Du 14e siècle datent les quatre travées de la nef avec leurs chapelles latérales. Au 15e siècle, construction du choeur. Après les guerres de Religion, le couvent est partiellement reconstruit en 1632 et agrandi en 1681. A la fin du 18e siècle, l'église se voit ajouter une chapelle latérale et les chapelles se couvrent d'un décor aujourd'hui disparu. A la Révolution, les biens des Cordeliers sont vendus, le couvent dépecé et l'église transformée en dépôt de foin. L'édifice est rendu au culte en 1804.

History
The church, built between 1355 and 1362 on the site of an earlier installation from which certain elements were reused (small columns of the west door), is a remnant of the old Franciscan convent. Dating from the 14th century are the four bays of the nave with their side chapels. In the 15th century, the choir was built. After the Wars of Religion, the convent was partially rebuilt in 1632 and enlarged in 1681. At the end of the 18th century, the church had a side chapel added and the chapels were covered with decoration which has since disappeared. At the Revolution, the possessions of the Franciscans were sold, the convent was dismantled and the church transformed into a hay store. The building was returned to worship in 1804.
