The church succeeded an old chapel dedicated to the Virgin, when the parish was created by Richelieu in 1622. The church, built from 1646 to 1690, then continued in the 18th century, was only completed in the 19th century by architect Victor Clair. Persistence of gothic structures in the classical period. The church is a vast vessel with transept and side aisles, ambulatory and chapels with rib vault, in a late Renaissance style.
