Of the two bells initially located in the bell tower, only one is still present. It bears the inscription: Sancta Maria Ora Pro Nobis the One Thousand Year CCCCC eight (1508). The second bell would have been lowered to the Revolution and then shipped to the currency. Legend has it that the man who made this pledge was crushed by it during his sacrilege and died suddenly.

Des deux cloches initialement situées dans le clocher campanile, une seule est encore présente. Celle-ci porte l'inscription : Sancta Maria Ora Pro Nobis l'An Mil CCCCC huit (1508). Le deuxième cloche aurait été descendue à la Révolution, puis expédiée à la monnaie. La légende veut que l'homme qui fit cette besogne fût écrasé par celle-ci lors de son sacrilège et mourut sur le coup.
