Chapel of the Grey Penitents
The Chapel of the Grey Penitents was built in the early 15th century on the site of a former convent of Cordeliers monks. Destroyed during the Wars of Religion, the chapel was rebuilt in the early 17th century and enlarged in 1687.
During the French Revolution, the chapel was diverted from its usual use, and all its furnishings were destroyed except for the high altar and altarpiece, which were preserved. The confrérie des pénitents gris is an association responsible for the management and upkeep of the chapel.
