The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cet édifice se compose d'une nef avec abside et de deux chapelles latérales formant deux travées. Sur la façade principale, le clocher Renaissance existant est d'une date postérieure à l'origine de la nef et des chapelles. Le clocher est surmonté d'un lanternon dont la base repose sur une plateforme, autrefois dallée, autour de laquelle règne une jolie balustre. Le lanternon est flanqué à ses angles de chimères en consoles d'amortissement. La tourelle d'escalier est accolée au clocher. Sur la face regardant la nef, il y a au-dessous du fronton, un bas-relief représentant Saint-Martin.

History
This building consists of a nave with apse and two lateral chapels forming two bays. On the main façade, the existing Renaissance bell tower is of a later date than the origin of the nave and chapels. The bell tower is surmounted by a lanternon whose base rests on a platform, formerly paved, around which runs a fine balustrade. The lanternon is flanked at its angles by chimeras as corbel-stops. The stair turret is attached to the bell tower. On the face overlooking the nave, there is below the pediment a bas-relief representing Saint-Martin.
