Les Ribières Oratory

Called "oradours" in Limousin patois, the oratories aim to provide protection for outlying villages and offer a place of devotion and prayer for those inhabitants far from the church. Located at the entrance of the village, the oratory of Les Ribières is dedicated to Saint Joseph. A porcelain plaque celebrates the memory of Léonard BOUTET, who died in 1884 in Les Ribières. Topped by a granite cross, the oratory houses a statue of the saint accompanied by the message "To St. Joseph. Reflect on life as you pass by."
