Chapelle Notre Dame des Grâces

On the D 19, just before reaching Lacapelle-Livron, on the edge of a clear plateau, stands the Chapel of Our Lady of Graces, almost overhanging over the picturesque valley of the Bonnette. It was originally a sepulchral chapel, founded in 1741, for him and his family by Pierre de Pause lord of Mondésir. It is an extremely graceful building. The choir is five-sided, the nave of square plan. The vault was rebuilt in ridges during the nineteenth century. Stained-glass windows adorn the Gothic mullioned windows. The portal looks tiny. It is in hug and very richly decorated with sculptures, especially tufts of thistle. The chapel is topped with lauzes, flat stones of the country. Open very punctually, this building is however worth the detour if only for its external architecture and for the point of view on the valley of Bonnette.
