FR L'église paroissiale Saint-Clair, qui a pris la place de l'ancienne prieurale, a gardé très peu de vestiges romans.
Elle est de style gothique : sa nef est voûtée en berceau dont la brisure est très accentuée ; le chœur à chevet plat est voûté sous croisée d’ogives.
Le portail occidental est en plein cintre. Elle date de la fin du xve siècle et du début du XVIe.
Les bas-côtés sont ajoutés au XVIIe. Le clocher est une tour construite au-dessus du chœur en 1675
Sur ce clocher est fixée une horloge, coté village
EN The parish church of St. Clair, which replaced the former priory, has very few Romanesque remains.
It is in Gothic style: its nave is vaulted in a barrel vault with a very accentuated crack; the choir with a flat chevet is vaulted under a cross of ribs.
The western portal is semicircular. It dates from the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.
The aisles were added in the 17th century. The bell tower is a tower built above the choir in 1675
On this bell tower is fixed a clock, on the village side
