There are three objects of our concern in this church: 1)a plain tub-shaped vessel in the nave; 2)a fragment of a stone object from this church is documented in a photograph ["photographie numérique native"] in Mémoire [ref.: AP80L032897] [(NUMP) 80L032897] [Document original 94 ; Charenton-le-Pont ; Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine]; the object origin is the Eglise Saint-Pierre and is described: "cuve baptismale (?) (fragment), vue générale"; the photograph shows a fragment [about 1/3?] of a tub-shaped container with a very crude passant quadruped [lion?] carved in high relief on its side; the object appears to be in a sort of lapidarium, together with other stone remnants; and 3)a modern font in use.
