Its apse in seven pieces calls back(reminds) that of the Saint chapel but is glazed of dullnesses, sieve(airlock,sieves,airlocks) stalls (1498-1501) show religious stages(scenes) in highly-rated of representations of the everyday life, of proverbs, of animals playing music. this church shelters besides a wall painting of the end of the XVth century and a polychrome pulpit of the XVIth century.
