ce n'est pas l'extase qui vous attend comme pour celles de l'abbatiale de Saint SAVIN sur GARTEMPE à 50 km plus à l'ouest, mais à coup sûr vous serez séduits par les scènes du Nouveau Testament de belle facture artistique qui ornent les murs et le plafond (Visitation, annonciation, visite des Rois Mages , fuite en EGYPTE)
Par chance, un historien de l'art se trouvait sur place lorsque j'ai visité l'endroit, du coup la visite a pris une autre dimension
