Chapelle Saint-Jean, située dans l'îlot Saint-Martin : inscription par arrêté du 21 décembre 1984
Description
In the southwest of the Saint-Martin cloister, and integrated into the canonial houses of an 18th century convent, the chapel was built in the 13th and 14th centuries on the site of an older oratory. This previous building, probably dating from the 12th century, would have itself replaced another oratory mentioned in the 6th century. It is a rectangular shape structure, characteristic of the beginnings of the Gothic style, which is covered with a false plaster vault in broken cradle and endowed with third-party arcades. At the level of the first span, the northern side wall included a broken arc porch with three torus.
