Chapel that was once a pagan place, whose water from the well in the rock would have helped to heal the eyes, decorated with frescoes.
Originally, this semi-troglodytic site was a very popular pagan place. According to popular belief, it seemed that the water from the well dug in the rock could cure the eyes when it was drawn on Saint John's day. Subsequently and at different times, the Romanesque chapel was built in the 12th, 17th and 19th centuries by Christians around the tomb of a hermit from the early Middle Ages. It is decorated with very beautiful frescoes and wall paintings.

Ancien oratoire transformée en chapelle romane semi-troglodytique.
A voir : la peinture murale de la fin du XIIe siècle représentant les Plantagenêts ainsi que le puits creusé dans la roche (l'eau est aussi transp que du cristal !)
