Of the original building, only the Medieval bell tower remains, recognizable by its blind arcades. This Lombard-style tower was restored in 1835. Saint Théodule (Theodore), patron saint of the parish and protector of vineyards, was positioned in a niche above the current entrance. Oddly, the statue is holding a real glass in his hand. Legend has that every year, the oldest parishioner named Théodule climbs up a ladder to refill the glass with wine!
Inside, the high-altar, which dates back to 1698, is not made from carved wood but rather from plaster. The nave also houses four other altarpieces.
