ST. ADRIAN CHAPEL
Go there and contact
Primitive chapel of Saint Adrian in an old hermit’s cave, organising an exhibition of paintings and offering an unusual visit.
After parking in the car park at the entrance to the village, you have to walk around twenty meters on the sidewalk and go along the road that goes up. Here, don’t be surprised, you’ll think first of a trap, but no: to access the chapel, you must cross the garden of a particular house. Indeed, the official path collapses. So we have to hurry to visit this little wonder. Partially troglodytic, the primitive chapel was built in 1557, at the location of an ancient hermit cave. On the hillside, overlooking the Seine, the current chapel dates from the eighteenth century and owes its safeguard to the association Les Amis de la chapelle Saint-Adrien, which maintains it and opens it to the visit. Inside, there are walls excavated in the rock, a few benches, painted statues, pilgrims’ messages, a baroque altar master and modern windows installed in the 1990s. Every year, an exhibition of painting is organized. An unusual visit.
