The French Wikipedia article about the town mentions the church as being the largest one in the city, and that it has a "carillon" of 21 bells; but there is no article about it.

A photo shows twin towers, but it is not clear which one holds these bells.

The Association Carillons en Pays d'Oc has a page about this instrument (in French).
