THE CAVE OF SAINT-VIAUD
Go there and contact
This cave has always been a place of pilgrimage and is located on the north side of the church. Also called a cell, it is where Vital (or Viau), the former patron of the parish, lived. The cave was forgotten during the Revolution. The priest Lechat rediscovered it in 1849. It was then 7 m long and 2 m wide. In the past, the opening of the cave was in the priory's garden. We went down a stone staircase there. The outer entrance to the cave was then placed in the northern chapel of the church. In 1910, Father Sort had a reduction of the Lourdes cave and a wire entrance built, which were restored in 2017 by volunteers.
