source ParvisPoitiers:
The cover was reconstituted in lauzes during the last restorations. The bell tower, sitting at the crossroads
transept, is stocky and square. On each side, two small semicircular bays are pierced in arcades
blind under discharge arches with balusters and bare capitals. Faces facing south and west are
accosted by a truncated tower that had to be a tower
watch. The bell, melted in 1806 in Poitiers by Migne and Sureau, bears the name of Junien-Nicolas and Cécile. On the south wall the turret of the staircase protrudes
screw that leads to the bell tower. On his left, a door gives
access to the interior of the building.


source ParvisPoitiers :
La couverture a été reconstituée en lauzes lors des dernières restaurations. Le clocher, assis à la croisée du
transept, est trapu et carré. Sur chaque face, deux petites baies en plein cintre sont percées dans des arcades
aveugles sous arcs de décharge à colonnettes et chapiteaux nus. Les faces tournées au sud et à l'ouest sont
accostées par une tour tronquée qui a dû être une tour
de guet. La cloche, fondue en 1806 à Poitiers par Migne et Sureau, porte le nom de Junien-Nicolas et Cé- cile. Au mur sud fait saillie la tourelle de l'escalier en
vis qui mène au clocher. A sa gauche, une porte donne
accès à l'intérieur de l'édifice.
