Chapelle de Vauclair : classement par arrêté du 8 août 1921
Description
This chapel was part of a priory of the Crown Order, under the jurisdiction of the cathedral chapter of Saint-Flou. The building, built in a style foreign to the region, could date from the beginning of the 13th century. Inside, there is a single nave divided into three spans by straight walls. The western portal has a first archivolt decorated with nine lobes in the shape of pointed leaves, each including an openwork leaf in the shape of a fifth. It also includes two feet-right which create a withdrawal and which are surmounted by a marquee decorated with a row of pearls combined by a intertwined cord. Above the door, a rosette lights the nave.
