Go there and contact
Chapel with nave and apse, founded in the XIXth century at the top of a hill, its construction would have marked the end of the epidemic of suet
Built in the 19th century, the Saint-Roch Chapel was built following the major suette epidemic of 1851. It was in reaction to the disease that the parish priest, Father Anglade, encouraged the inhabitants to build a chapel dedicated to Saint-Roch of Montpellier, a valiant pilgrim with healing powers. Legend has it that the construction of the building marked the end of the epidemic. Unchanged, the chapel is built on top of a hill and has an elongated plan consisting of a single nave. It is completed by a polygonal five-sided apse. A false ribbed vault adorns the interior, while the gable of the façade is topped by a bell tower.
