Church Notes: There are two "possible" churches in Lamballe: Saint-Martin and and the collegiate church of Notre-Dame; are there two fonts? (France, 1985)
Enlart (1902) includes this among the French double-fonts but mentions that the second basin was added to the old Romanesque original in the 16th century. It is unclear whether or not the Tournai-like font he includes in a later list, same source, is the same or not. The Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) simply mentions that there is a baptismal font of the 13th century in this church.
