This building, originally in Romano-Byzantine style, saw its apse replaced by the construction of the very beautiful sepulchral chapel of Poitiers, in flamboyant Gothic style, in 1500 by Aymar VI, Diane’s grandfather.

In 1782, the bottom of the church, destroyed by the religious wars in 1568, was rebuilt in a neo-Greek style.

The bell tower attached to the building was rebuilt by the Saint-Vallier inhabitants between 1611 and 1623, replacing the polygonal bell tower, which was located above the nave, also destroyed during the religious wars.

Church listed as Heritage on July 4th 1972.
