Chapelle des Pénitents (cad. C 322) : inscription par arrêté du 2 décembre 1988

In 1691, the two brotherhoods of white and black penitents met. Their chapel, which was rebuilt in 1696, was sold and demolished during the Revolution. The current chapel was built in 1844. It is a size stone building covered with a coating, with a single nave and a five-sided choir integrated into a semi-circular bedside.
