Inside, visitors can see a pietà painted by Guy François (17th century); a fine alabaster statue of the Virgin attributed to a Burgundian sculptor from the 15th century; the pulpit and wooden decorations in the choir, the work of Gabriel Samuel (1735), which were unfortunately damaged by revolutionaries, and lastly a series of stained-glass windows (1865-66) by Emile Thibaud, representing the legend of Saint Caprasius, in the choir and over the western portal.
