"The roof was raised to house a defensive space during the Hundred Years War." The Bedside Choir was rebuilt in 1563 in late Gothic style.

The carved decoration, inside and outside, is devoted to bestiary and plants. Phallic-tailed monsters adorn the capitals, griffins and serpents decorate the modillions.

To see: gilded wooden tabernacle of 1753 and "The miracle of the host", stained glass of the bedside dating from 1863, made by the brothers Guérithault, students of Ingres and Vernet. "

"Le toit a été surélevé pour abriter un espace défensif lors de la guerre de Cent Ans. Le choeur à chevet plat a été reconstruit en 1563 dans le style gothique tardif.

Le décor sculpté, intérieur et extérieur, est consacré au bestiaire et aux végétaux. Des monstres à queue phallique ornent les chapiteaux, griffons et femmes serpents décorent les modillons.

A voir : tabernacle en bois doré de 1753 et "Le miracle de l'hostie", vitrail du chevet datant de 1863, réalisé par les frères Guérithault, élèves d'Ingres et de Vernet. "
