In 1817, urgent repairs were made to the church tower "largely destroyed by fire from the sky on the day of December 11, 1816".
The southern tower includes the staircase leading to the tribune placed at the back of the facade, to the attic and to the slate bell tower52 - placed above the central span - and where in 1790 were “three bells of different size and size ".
To this spire and to the turrets of the facade are two pinnacles covering the buttresses placed at the height of the apse.

En 1817, des réparations urgentes concernèrent le clocher de l’église « détruit, en grande partie, par le feu du ciel dans la journée du 11 décembre 1816 ».
La tour méridionale comporte l’escalier menant à la tribune placée au revers de la façade, aux combles et au clocher d’ardoises52 – placé au-dessus de la travée centrale – et où se trouvaient en 1790 « trois cloches de différentes grosseur et grandeur ».
A cette flèche et aux tourelles de la façade répondent deux pinacles coiffant les contreforts placés à hauteur de l’abside.
