This listed medieval chapel features a rare danse macabre fresco and polychrome statues.

This 13th-century Gothic chapel, subsequently modified several times, is famous for its danse macabre fresco, a rare example of medieval macabre art. Dated to the 15th century, this strip painted on either side of the nave walls features 47 characters, symbolizing every social stratum: the ploughman, the cordelier, the king and even the pope... They all hold hands in the great farandole led by death. The south porch houses statues of the apostles.

Très jolie chapelle construite il y a plusieurs siècles. le porche d'entrée comporte les statues des 12 apôtres, et l'intérieur est décoré de fresques assez bien conservées. L'été, des concerts y sont organisés et il y a souvent une personne à qui on peut demander des renseignements à son sujet.
