The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice pré-roman, remanié au 12e siècle. Matériaux de construction provenant des concrétions de l'aqueduc antique de Nîmes (présence de graffitis de l'époque médiévale). La chapelle fut probablement érigée sur les fondations d'un édifice antérieur qui pourrait être d'époque carolingienne. Une fenêtre située dans le mur sud voit son arc zénithal découpé dans une seule grande pierre rectangulaire, procédé courant aux 10e et 11e siècles. Le portail ouest est venu se loger sous l'arc roman et date du début du 14e siècle.

Pre-Romanesque building, altered in the 12th century. Building materials from the concrétions of the ancient aqueduct of Nîmes (presence of graffiti from the medieval period). The chapel was probably erected on the foundations of a previous building which could date from the Carolingian period. A window situated in the south wall has its zenith arch cut from a single large rectangular stone, a procedure common in the 10th and 11th centuries. The west portal came to rest under the Romanesque arch and dates from the beginning of the 14th century.
