The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Crypte à deux niveaux, la partie haute devait servir de lieu de culte, une petite niche carrée dans l'épaisseur de la muraille a pu servir de tabernacle et une pierre rectangulaire, d'autel (voûtes d'ogives primitives mêlées au plein-cintre). Le niveau inférieur se présente comme une galerie allant à l'abbaye où se trouve plusieurs caveaux.

Crypt with two levels, the upper part was intended to serve as a place of worship, a small square niche in the thickness of the wall may have served as a tabernacle and a rectangular stone as an altar (primitive rib vaults mixed with round arch). The lower level presents itself as a gallery leading to the abbey where there are several vaults.
