THE ROUND CHAPEL
Description
The round chapel or chapel of the Good Father: it is a small chapel that was built in 1834 above the village under the influence of canon Hadol, to a place where St. Peter Fourier liked to go to rest and to pray, in the shade of a tree that had even planted it. Legend: in those days the fields stretched to the horizon, the harvesters working in the fields. Then to water the peasants Pierre Fourier planted his stick and brought forth a source. It considered miraculous was captured at the time of the construction of the chapel. Then, planting his stick this one would be transformed into a beautiful tree to provide shade to the reapers.
