Click to view
The present baptismal font in this church is modern, probably post-Revolution; it is made of multi-coloured marble, the round basin decorated with a large flat moulding and a gadrooned pattern all around; on a slightly splaying cylindrical pedestal base decorated with a fluted pattern all around. The font cover appears to be made of wood, shaped like a dome divided in four segments with a pointed finial ending in a pine cone; two of the segments are hinged to open and provide access to the interior. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church, perhaps destroyed in the religious wars or in the Revolution].
