CHAPEL OF SAINT-BLAISE-DES-SIMPLES
Go there and contact
Chapel dating from the XIIth century, vestige of a former maladrerie. The interior walls are decorated on the theme of the simpletons.
The only vestige of a former "maladrerie", this 12th-century building is surrounded by a botanical garden containing almost 200 species of medicinal or "simple" plants. Away from the village, the "maladrerie" housed lepers until the 16th century. In 1959, Jean Cocteau, who was laid to rest inside the chapel (the tombstone bears a sober "Je veille avec vous"), decorated the interior walls on the theme of simples. The audio commentary is interpreted by Jean Marais.
