"Church of the twelfth century, enlarged in the sixteenth century.In front of the facade, whose portal has admirable capitals, extends a small porch pierced with twin arches.

The sexpartite vaults of the nave rest on alternately strong and weak stacks. The latter were taken as an underpinning in the 15th century.

The primitive transept, which carries a square tower, was doubled to the east by a second flamboyant transept, on which opens a polygonal apse.

A Virgin and Child (Gothic marble sculpture) from this church is now in the Cloisters Museum in New York. "

" Eglise du XIIe siècle, agrandie au au XVIe siècle. Devant la façade, dont le portail possède d'admirables chapiteaux, s'étend un petit porche percé d'arcades géminées.

Les voûtes sexpartites de la nef reposent sur des piles alternativement fortes et faibles. Ces dernières ont été reprises en sous-oeuvre au XVe siècle.

Le transept primitif, qui porte une tour carrée, a été doublé vers l'est par un second transept flamboyant, sur lequel s'ouvre une abside polygonale.

Une Vierge à l'Enfant (sculpture en marbre d'époque gothique) originaire de cette église se trouve aujourd'hui au musée des Cloîtres à New York. "
