Chapelle des Pénitents
Description
The chapel was built in the 12th century. After being partially damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was restored thanks to a loan from a wealthy family. It was sold as national property during the French Revolution. In 1820, it was bought by the Pénitents bleus brotherhood. The brotherhood disappeared at the end of the 19th century, after having had a great influence on the town. The chapel's most striking feature is its magnificent five-bay bell tower. The chapel's chevet is simple, with a triplet of apsidioles and Limousin moldings.
