Church Notes: abbey here documented 844, 881 and 888; dissolved 1771; 12thC abbey church replaced the function of the old parish church ca. 1817 (the latter was de-consecrated and used as a rural site) -- former abbey church listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00102894] [https://www.pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/merimee/PA00102894] [accessed 4 January 2022]: "Ancienne église abbatiale. La fondation du monastère remonterait à 780 ou 811 (selon les lettres de Charlemagne datées de la 44ème année de son règne). Elle serait due à un seigneur Attala qui en fut le premier abbé. Les moines vivaient sous la règle de Saint-Benoît. L'église se trouvait dans la partie nord des quatre corps de bâtiments composant le carré de l'abbaye. Elle date probablement du 12e siècle et est la seule construction subsistante, avec l'aqueduc et le bassin."
Font Notes:
Click to view
There is stone font in the northwest corner of the nave, a crude work consisting of a round basin with a chanfered underbowl, raised on a broad cylindrical pedestal base; all plain; there is a metal staple on one of the sides of the upper rim of the basin, but no cover present. One of image sources [cf. ImagesArea] has captioned a late marble stoup as "fonts baptismaux".
