*Links:

The French Wikipedia article about the town mentions a church, which is dedicated equally to Saint-Étienne and Notre-Dame.  Nothing is said about the bells, but a photo shows a bell wall with five openings; from Google Streetview it is possible to count 12 bells, of which only the largest swings.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of unknown bellfoundries, in this region and in the world.
