Chapelle Saint Ferréol

Around the year 300, Ferréol, a tribune in the armies of the Empire of Vienne, was converted to Christianity by Saint Julian; he was living in Vienne at the time of the persecutions of the first Christians. Condemned for his dangerous proselytism, he was arrested, flogged, put in chains and thrown into a dungeon. Three days later, by a miracle, his chains were broken and his door opened. He left Vienne and crossed the Rhône. But once again arrested by guards, he was beheaded.
Saint Ferréol became a popular feast day, celebrated for three days around the 3rd Sunday in September.

The Saint Ferréol chapel was probably built around 1400.
On the site reserved for it, the chapel was used as a cemetery for children born without baptism.
In 1861, the chapel was rebuilt on a new plan, with new frescoes and paintings on the vault and walls, in the neo-Gothic style.
Mass was still celebrated in the open air before it was completely abandoned.
The chapel was restored a few years ago.

Du 19/09 au 20/09/2015, tous les jours.
Ouverture exceptionnelle lors des Journées européennes du Patrimoine.
