Uncorroborated information reports a large baptismal tub in an exterior baptistery accessible from the interior of the church via a door between the chancel and the nave; it was "une piscine de 2,60 mètres x 1,95 mètres, récemment comblée", which, if true, would appear to indicate that that it is no longer accessible [NB: we have been unable to trace this information to a reliable source thus far].
