Chapelle de Val-des-Nymphes

Two kilometers east of St-Michel chapel, on the D572 A are the ruins of the 12th C. Chapelle de Val-des-Nymphes set in a green valley abounding in water. In Gallo-Roman days this spot was probably a pagan shrine, as the name implies. The roof and arches of the single-aisled Romanesque chapel are lacking. The west front is remarkable; above simple wall surfaces - the arch of the doorway has keystones from a Roman building - the tympanum has three niches, separated by fluted pilasters with imitation Classical capitals. The arches which support the corner pilasters are later additions. Of interest is the articulation of the choir apse by blind arcades on two levels.
