Inside
The single vessel nave was remodeled Romanesque arches were replaced by Gothic arches (missing) which was based on the columns and capitals of age novel. However, if the choir and transepts have retained their arrangement and decoration carved original paintings dating from the nineteenth century. Cloverleaf plan of this part of the church is a rare feature in Saintonge reminiscent perhaps of earlier constructions at the age novel, whether or pre-Romanesque inspired by Antiquity (seaside). The transept is covered by a beautiful dome-shaped tubes on shells, carried by four arches. Those placed in the axis of the nave and chancel are composed of voussoirs in pads that are sometimes compared to books would be stacked with the back. As for the open arches on the arms of the transept, they are based on double and separate columns and are connected by voussoirs leaving gaps at regular intervals.
The choir and chapels forming the transept arms are arched in a cul-de-oven and lighted by a small window.
All this together, choir and transept, is united by a continuous frieze that extends to the base of the arches, the sculpture of the capitals and their abacuses. The pattern of two side apses consists of vertical grooves in the north and in the shape of "S" in the south. However, on the capitals and in the choir unfolds a profusion of foliage and interlaced acanthus where integrated scenes of great vivacity. We discover pecking birds facing a head and a wide variety of lions, presented a profile or two body, human head, tail drawing the scroll of a scroll. Scenes complement the decor: bow hunting, dogs attacking a deer, a man and a woman hugging under the gaze of a third (husband?), A man sitting in the corner of a tent, attacked by birds, in short, a world where people and animals frolic happily in an elegant, decorative, inherited from St. Eutropius or portal Abbaye-aux-Dames de Saintes.
