This trumeau placed in the occidental façade of the church of Saint Marie, is similar a close in style to the one of Moissac. The ascending movement drown around the trumeau includes some figures like gryphons, bodies, quadrupeds. On the upper, a teenager is depicted while being attacked by a bird. This scene reminds of the rape of Ganymede by Jupiter’s eagle. On the right part of the trumeau, the three couples of fighters are a conventional representation of the discord. On the left side instead, Abraham’s sacrifice is represented.
