This chapel, built in the 16th century as a tribute to the monk Saint-François, can be visited free of charge all year round

A chapel built in the 16th century in homage to the monk Saint-François, originally from Calabria. He stopped in Bormes in 1481, almost by chance, and his presence alone enabled the inhabitants to escape the plague epidemic. During the revolution, the building was almost sold to become a mill... It will not be finally the case! An adjoining cemetery houses several members of the white penitents brotherhood. The building can be visited free of charge all year round.

Charmante chapelle du XVIe siècle agrémentée de vitraux contemporains, conçus et peints par Georges H. Pescadère et réalisés par le maître-verrier Jean-Baptiste Chartier, placés lors de la restauration de l'édifice en 1989. A remarquer, dans le cimetière, l'imposant monument funéraire élevé en 1924 en hommage au peintre-céramiste et graveur Jean-Charles Cazin.
