From the outside, the imposing three-bay comb-bell tower attracts attention. Built in 1829, it surmounts the triumphal arch. On the south façade is the entrance portal with several semicircular arches. Built of large granite stone, the building has a five-sided apse and a transept with protruding arms ending in two square chapels.
At the cemetery, there is a granite cross with a half-basin at its base, which serves as a holy water font. This particularity can only be seen in Margeride. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
