Eglise Saint-Joseph
Dates & opening times
Descriptif
This small chapel in the old village was restored in the 19th century. It was given a neo-Gothic style, as evidenced by the ribbed vaults, capitals and polygonal spire forming the campanile.
With its rounded porch and square bell tower, this small rural church is truly a fine achievement.
In 1990, the interior was frescoed with scenes of rural life and landscapes by local painter Elie Murat. A large blue painting of Christ surrounded by angels with the inscription "Christ is risen, all be his witnesses" is simply splendid.
Free admission on request from the tourist office (please bring proof of identity).
