The present baptismal font consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a single flat moulding around the upper rim, raised of a round splaying pedestal base, an octagonal lower base and a small square plinth. The basin and base appear unmatched, probably of differemt periods, as is the square plinth. The metal cover is conical, with an orb-and-cross atop; appears modern. Noted and illustrated in Visites Aquitaine [http://visites.aquitaine.fr/fonts-baptismaux-de-l-eglise-de-labastide] [accessed 30 November 2013]: "La grande cuve en pierre, hémisphérique, est simplement décorée d’un léger ressaut en bordure supérieure. Le piétement, dont le marbre contraste avec cette simplicité, est composé de deux parties : un pied de section circulaire à base octogonale, et un socle gris de forme carrée." The church has also a large grey-marble holy-water stoup consisting of a shallow square basin with rounded corners and underbowl, raised on a round baluster pedestal base, and a moulded square lower base; modern, probably 19th-century.
