Sculptures mérovingiennes incrustées dans la façade de l'église. L'iconographie est inconnue En levant la tête, on peut voir plusieurs sculptures en méplat incrustées dans la façade. Elles sont visiblement d’une époque bien antérieure à la construction de l’église, probablement mérovingienne ou carolingienne. Peut-être proviennent-elles d’une église construite antérieurement. Si leur origine est inconnue, leur iconographie est tout aussi énigmatique. Les personnages sculptés sont les témoins d’un art encore très primitif. Pour ce qui est de leur signification, plusieurs hypothèses sont avancées : une iconographie de Saint Florent, le couple, voir pour 2 d’entre elles la possibilité d’évoquer l’Annonciation et la Visitation. Mais la question reste entière.


Merovingian sculptures embedded in the facade of the church. The iconography is unknown Looking up, one can see several sculptures flat embedded in the facade. They are obviously a time well before the church building, probably Merovingian and Carolingian. Perhaps they come from a previously built church. If their origin is unknown, their iconography is equally enigmatic. The sculpted figures are evidence of a still very primitive art. In terms of service, several assumptions are made: an iconography of Saint Florent, the couple, to see 2 of them the opportunity to discuss the Annunciation and the Visitation. But the question remains.
