The wooden vaults of the galleries of the cloister are 14th century. The church has a long building period starting with the baptistery, which is paleo-Christian, 5th century and Merovingian in style. It is octagonal with eight re-used Roman Corinthian columns. Most of the rest of the structure dates from the 11th-13th centuries. The church has a double nave. The bell tower above the narthex dates to the 13th century.
