Travel Guide Saint-Michel-De-Veisse

(Saint-Michel-de-Veisse) This commune has a small jewel of the Renaissance that is absolutely necessary to visit: Notre-Dame-de-la-Borne chapel, classified as a historic monument dedicated to the Virgin, is an important pilgrimage site. Charles of Aubusson, lord of the Point, would have bitten with his horse in a fondrière and would have made the Virgin to build a chapel if she saved it. He kept his promise and built this chapel, which was finished in 1524. Its portico is flamboyant Gothic, the interior contains works of art: the tree of Jesse, dated 1522, where each branch represents an ancestor of the Virgin, is a magnificent stained glass stained by the bay of the choir; a wooden statue of the th century represents the nursing Virgin; a Tapisserie tapestry of the late th century commemorates the desire of Charles d'Aubusson. The latter gives the image of a Charitable of Charitable and collected, while he led a life of enemies and was the object of many scandals that earned him "the test decided at the premises and pillory of this city of Paris and his estre body put into four quarters…".
