The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La chapelle est située sous un rocher formant l'entrée d'une grotte où une source forme déversoir d'un lac souterrain. L'édifice a subi de nombreuses reprises (nef en grande partie du 12e siècle, fenêtre du chevet du 14e siècle, portail du 15e siècle...). L'aspect de l'arc triomphal trapu et un peu surbaissé ainsi que son mode de construction font penser aux édifices pré-romans. Cette technique se retrouve sur le doubleau situé à l'ouest et sur les deux petites arcades visible sur le mur sud de la nef. Un chevet carré termine la construction.

History
The chapel is situated beneath a rock forming the entrance to a cave where a spring forms the overflow of an underground lake. The building has undergone many repairs (nave largely from the 12th century, chevet window from the 14th century, portal from the 15th century...). The appearance of the squat and somewhat depressed triumphal arch as well as its method of construction suggest pre-Romanesque buildings. This technique is found again on the doubleau located to the west and on the two small arcades visible on the south wall of the nave. A square chevet terminates the construction.
