Sainte-Anne retains numerous capitals and modillions from the 12th and 13th centuries, including one that has been replaced by a stoup.
The church’s rich furnishings include over fourteen items listed in the Monuments Historiques inventory. Over the years, it has been enhanced by furnishing campaigns, notably in the 17th century, under the Ancien Régime and right up to the early 20th century.
Highlights include the late 12th-century Virgin in Majesty in polychrome-painted carved wood, the 15th- or 16th-century statue of Saint-Loup in polychrome wood, the 15th-century painted arkose sculpted group of Sainte-Anne Trinitaire and a set of 24 12th- and 12th-century capitals with water-leaf ornamentation.
