On-site notes: baptismal font consisting of a round basin made of two cylindrical volumes, the upper half slightly wider and marked by a moulding all around; raised on a short round pedestal base, also with a moulding around it the font is partly built into the north (?) wall of the nave. The wooden cover is flat and round, hinged for opening about 2/3 off; it has a lock (modern?) at the front to secure it to the front side of the basin; the basin appears damaged at several spots around the upper rim. [NB: the Mérimée database entry for this church [référence IA00026664] dates oldest fabric of the church to the 11th century]
