Inside, the single nave with its flat chevet is covered by a plastered wainscoted vault, supported by wooden doublets. The south chapel, built in 1669, is vaulted with wooden ogives and tiercerons. Another chapel opens to the north. In the center, a painting on canvas by Françoise Finet depicts the Adoration of the Shepherds.
The building also houses a granite baptismal font decorated with an arcature, a granite polygonal font, a polychrome wooden statue of Saint Caprais and a Virgin and Child.
