(FR Merimee DB)
"L'édifice du 15e siècle englobe une chapelle romane circulaire. La nef encadrée de bas-côtés se termine par un choeur circulaire. Une tour carrée formant clocher, accompagnée d'un escalier en tourelle ronde, s'élève sur la première travée."

(EN Merimee Translated)
"The building from the 15th century includes a circular Romanesque chapel. The nave flanked by aisles ends with a circular chorus. Forming a square tower steeple, accompanied by a round turret staircase rises to the first bay."

Two things struck me about this church, The first is how it dominates the town of Saint Cirq Lapopie on a cliff over the Lot River. The second was the prominent sundial in the bell tower of the church, a simple vertical sundial declining about 5° west of south, showing local solar time withour embellishments See WMPFKP.
