            The interior 
The nave 
The large arches in arch of the nave, in the Burgundian Romanesque style, occupy two-thirds of the rise, the remaining third being held by a blind arcade surmounted by a row of tall windows. It is a provision inspired by the church of Cluny.
As in the huge building that was Cluny III, in each span, three bays, sometimes blind sometimes open on the roof of the side aisles, are topped with three tall windows, identical in size, surrounded by an arcade. One can not help thinking the architectural model of the three doors on each wall of the heavenly Jerusalem, as St. John describes in the Apocalypse, unless either recall the Trinity. Similarly, arcades are three levels, there are three bays in the nave, and three bunk pillars between each span. These pillars are arranged in chiasmus: a series of high pilasters is extended vertically by pilasters spandrels of the arches, and the two superimposed pilasters are clearly separated by the lower pilaster of the tent and the base of one who overcomes. For cons, the two rows of arches are connected by the same pilaster, simply separated into two by the ring of the molding between two floors of arcades.
The different levels are highlighted either by continuous molded cords (under the blind arcade of the second level) or by a cornice supported by corbels (under the high windows).
