The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La partie la plus ancienne, la nef, date du 11e siècle. Au 15e siècle, l'édifice fut remanié par l'adjonction sur la paroi sud de chapelles latérales. L'influence du 16e siècle se manifeste dans la décoration d'une porte secondaire, inspirée par l'art renaissant italien et non français.

The oldest part, the nave, dates from the 11th century. In the 15th century, the building was remodelled by the addition of lateral chapels on the south wall. The influence of the 16th century is manifested in the decoration of a secondary door, inspired by Italian Renaissance art rather than French.
