Source caption: "L’édifice est précédé d’un porche profond, autrefois ouvert, comme à Beaulieu et à La Graulière. C’est au XIXe siècle qu’il a été fermé par un mur percé d’un portail néo-gothique. Au fond de ce porche s’ouvre l’ancien portail à triple voussures, orné de sculptures. L’Adoration des Mages se déroule sur le tympan, dans un style narratif empreint de bonhomie."

the hole in the side may indicated an alternate use as a water trough or similar; the large gap in the upper rim, however, was very likely caused by the metal anchors of an old cover

Font Notes:
12th-century baptisma font listed in Palissy [ref.: PM19001004]: "fonts baptismaux [...] grès (rose) [...] La cuve est constituée de 8 pans à l'extérieur tandis que l'intérieur est cylindrique [...] 12e siècle." The eight large scallops around the top outer side give the font an octagonal shape there but the rest is round; the piping bars on the sides appear to be or different thickness, perhaps due to erosion. There is a drain hole in one of the panels, likely from a time the want served as water trough or similar alternate use. There is damage to the upper rim, some of it obviously caused by metal anchors of an old cover.
