The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette chapelle a été édifiée à l'ouest du bourg en 1779. A ne pas confondre avec l'église paroissiale Notre-Dame. L'édifice aurait été bâti à l'emplacement d'une chapelle du 13e siècle. L'oratoire comporte une salle rectangulaire couverte en arc de cloître. La porte est ouverte sous un entablement porté par deux colonnes engagées et surmonté d'un fronton triangulaire creusé d'une niche.

This chapel was built to the west of the town in 1779. Not to be confused with the parochial church of Notre-Dame. The edifice is said to have been built at the site of a 13th-century chapel. The oratory comprises a rectangular room covered in a cloister arch. The door opens under an entablature borne by two engaged columns and surmounted by a triangular pediment hollowed with a niche.
