The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Il s'agit d'une chapelle caractéristique de l'architecture romane en Provence: abside polygonale, murs pourvus de grandes arcades aveugles, travées ponctuées de pilastres, voûtes en berceau, mur nord nord aveugle. Elle présente également une étroite travée droite de choeur peu commune. La qualité de l'appareil mis en oeuvre témoigne de l'ancienneté de la construction. L'église apparait cependant, à ce jour très dégradée

History
This is a chapel characteristic of Romanesque architecture in Provence: polygonal apse, walls provided with large blind arcades, bays punctuated by pilasters, barrel vaults, north wall blind. It also presents a narrow straight bay of choir which is uncommon. The quality of the masonry executed bears witness to the antiquity of the construction. The church appears however, to this day very degraded.
