The Péone chapelle des Pénitents is mentioned in the first half of the 17th century. Restored in 1976 by private individuals, it has belonged to the commune for several years.
The people of the mountains had a difficult day-to-day life, in addition to the terrors of epidemics, wars and famine.
The presence of the confraternities of the Pénitents and the many places of worship can be explained by the people’s requirement to find help and protection.
