Built between 1681 and 1686, the façade has a gate framed by straight smooth columns supporting a scalloped entablature which houses the central niche: five fire pots decorate the ensemble, which is dominated by a triple bay opening, letting the light into the tribune. The new fittings were given by Cardinal Alexis Billiet (1783-1873), who was from the area. The main altarpiece, in Neoclassical style, presents a painting of St Martin, and The Last Supper is depicted in relief on the front of the altar. The side altarpieces are also in Neoclassical style with older elements: the Rosary by Todescoz (1693) was redone in 1852 by Charles Pedrini. The rood beam has a 17th century Christ with angels who collect the blood that is flowing from his wounds.
