Chapel dating from the XIIth century, vestige of a former maladrerie. The interior walls are decorated on the theme of the simpletons.
The only vestige of a former "maladrerie", this 12th-century building is surrounded by a botanical garden containing almost 200 species of medicinal or "simple" plants. Away from the village, the "maladrerie" housed lepers until the 16th century. In 1959, Jean Cocteau, who was laid to rest inside the chapel (the tombstone bears a sober "Je veille avec vous"), decorated the interior walls on the theme of simples. The audio commentary is interpreted by Jean Marais.

Mérite une visite si l'on passe du côté de Milly-la-Forêt. La chapelle est entièrement décorée par Jean Cocteau et le commentaire dit par Jean Marais éclaire bien sur la signification des peintures. C'est en plus un pèlerinage indispensable pour tout admirateur de ce poète, peintre, cinéaste...

Very known as housing the tomb of Jean Cocteau, the church itself is not exceptional, the garden close by allows for him to cultivate.
