The western bell tower, which doubles as a porch like its Morienval counterpart, was built under Abbé Morard at the end of the 10th century. According to Eugène Lefèvre-Pontalis, it is one of the oldest bell towers in France. It originally consisted of a base, two storeys with a single semicircular bay per face, and a belfry storey with two geminated abat-son bays per face. The fourth storey was added later, at the very beginning of the 12th century.
. The timber-framed belfry inside is 17th-century, and the octagonal, slate-covered spire is also modern. Its squat shape is based on a drawing from 1368.
