The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Il s’agit d’un édifice très modeste composé d’une nef unique se terminant par un chevet plat. La simplicité de l’architecture contraste avec la richesse de son décor des 17ème, 18ème et 19ème siècles. Le décor peint du 19ème siècle fait, par l’utilisation de différents symboles, référence aux sept litanies et aux sept douleurs de la Vierge, dont la représentation orne la clé de voûte du choeur.

This is a very modest edifice composed of a single nave ending in a flat chevet. The simplicity of the architecture contrasts with the richness of its decoration from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The painted decoration of the 19th century makes, through the use of different symbols, reference to the seven litanies and seven sorrows of the Virgin, whose representation adorns the keystone of the choir.
