The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Aménagé en 1794 ou 1804 selon les sources, le cimetière est situé à l'extérieur du village et comprend 700 tombes dont les plus anciennes sont de la première décennie du 19e siècle. Les tombes les plus anciennes sont simples et modestes, très homogènes. Elles se diversifient vers le milieu du siècle pour se rapprocher toujours plus des modèles chrétiens à la fin du 19e siècle.

Laid out in 1794 or 1804 according to sources, the cemetery is situated outside the village and comprises 700 tombs, the oldest of which date from the first decade of the 19th century. The oldest tombs are simple and modest, very homogeneous. They diversify towards the middle of the century to become ever closer to Christian models at the end of the 19th century.
