    Simple and atypical<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Renovated in 1956, the chapel has been listed as a historic monument since 1967. The sober, elegant interior features a smiling statue of the Virgin and Child. Made of rowan wood and dating from the 16th century, it bears the scars of the French Revolution. The stained glass windows, made from coloured bottle bottoms, give the place a special luminosity and atmosphere. You are free to visit the chapel<\/a> outside the celebrations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
