Description
“The building is solidly built in polychrome stones carefully paired: blond or gray granite, brown, red and black volcanic tuff. The portal which opens to the south, protected by a shallow porch in blond granite, is certainly a later addition to the Romanesque period. The polychrome arcade of the porch, the "zigzag" (or "herringbone") decoration around the portal which is surrounded by two large molded arches, one in granite, the other in red lava, form an elegant ensemble. Very probably, the covings must once have rested on four small columns, as is often observed. The slate roof overflows widely, protecting a cornice which runs around the building, supported, around the apse and above the portal, by sculpted corbels. Some of these corbels are still clearly legible, showing human masks and animal heads. The bell tower is a comb, as for many churches on the plateau. It still has its four bells. » http://www.patrimoine-ardeche.com
