On-site notes: the present baptismal font at Saint-Eutrope's is modern, oval and moulded, with a metal cover; perhaps it was added after the nave was destroyed in the 1830s. The basin of the modern font, 110 cm at its widest point, has two pairs of wells inside: two larger ones for the water (one with a drain hole), and two smaller ones for the chrism, etc. It is made of marble. [NB: we have no information on its medieval font].
