The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cet édifice du 12e siècle comprenait une nef et deux bas-côtés terminés par des absidioles dont il reste encore les amorces. Le choeur et le sanctuaire seuls subsistent, avec ordonnance d'arcatures et de colonnes. Les deux absidioles ouvraient sans doute sur un transept.

This building of the 12th century comprised a nave and two aisles terminated by absidioles of which traces still remain. The choir and the sanctuary alone survive, with an arrangement of arcatures and columns. The two absidioles opened no doubt onto a transept.
