Centre-Val de Loire

The semicircular apse in cul-de-four and three bays(berries) in height - round arch(hanger) make of the church a pure example of the Romanesque art of the XIIth century. The arms of transepts are doubled by absidioles, the octagonal bell tower contains small Romance windows. The hall of the church allowed to the believers(regular customers) to shelter or to discuss before or after services(offices). He(It) extends the nave, not vaulted of the XIIth century. Ridiculous modillons is visible in the bedhead. The church contains a piéta of the XVth century.
