The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Première implantation tarnaise des soeurs de Saint-Joseph sous la houlette de l'évêque Gaston de Pins. La chapelle en rotonde est aménagée dès 1834 et devient le siège d'un pèlerinage marial. En 1994, la communauté cède la chapelle à l'association diocésaine d'Albi. Le cimetière qui abritait les stèles historiées et armoriées des religieuses est supprimé. L'édifice est atypique par son plan (deux rotondes reliées entre elles par un choeur rectangulaire). L'intérieur conserve un décor peint.

History
First establishment of the Sisters of Saint-Joseph in the Tarn under the leadership of bishop Gaston de Pins. The rotunda chapel was fitted out from 1834 and became the seat of a Marian pilgrimage. In 1994, the community ceded the chapel to the diocesan association of Albi. The cemetery which housed the historical and heraldic tombstones of the religious sisters was suppressed. The building is atypical in its plan (two rotundas connected to each other by a rectangular choir). The interior retains painted decoration.
