"Le clocher, situé derrière l’église, présente une forme très particulière. Construit en 1604, il est surmonté d’un dôme d’ardoises à deux étages, remarquable par l’importance de ses abat-sons." (visit link)
"Son clocher se visite mais il ne faut pas avoir le vertige. Il y a 79 marches à monter dont une en partie en échelle de meunier et pour descendre il faut être à reculons." (visit link)
