*Links:

The French Wikipedia article about the town does not mention this building.

The ARPAC Website (archived 2019) presents much more detail than we can here, though it is all in French.  It has a small photo of two bells.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Petit & Fritsen bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
