"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. "
