The present baptismal font in this church, located in the southwest area of the interior, is made of reddish veined marble and of 18th-century design; it consists of an oval basin that appears to be double-basined, its exterior decorated with a torus-scotia combination follow down by a gadrooned pattern all around the underbowl; it is raised on a quadrangular pedestal base splaying towards the bottom with panelled sides. Metal cover with two opening lids. This later font is illustrated in a digital photograph taken 23 June 2014 by Pierre Poschadel in Wikimedia [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Presles_(95),_église_Saint-Germain,_nef,_bas-côté_sud,_fonts_baptismaux_3.JPG] [accessed 21 September 2025].
