Saint Sébastien Chapel

Saint Sébastien chapel in Rancon is dedicated to the patron saint of the conscripts. It was settled in the graveyard that was disaffected in 1872. Even recently, masses were given in the honor of young men who were assigned to military service. It was built after the Lord of Rancon disappointed his subjects during the Second Crusade in Holy Land. The people of Rancon, ashamed of their Lord, decided to put themselves under the protection of Saint Sébastien. Nowadays, it houses temporary exhibitions during summer : Le Salon des Artistes de la Gartempe. It is settled in the village next to the lantern of the dead.
