The chapel Sainte-Agathe was at the origin of the Gallo-Roman thermal baths, (end of the iie century), a church of Haute-Middle Ages (VI) dedicated to Saint Venier or Saint Guigner and a funeral chapel (Xe century). It is also called the temple of Venus. This name comes from a fresco located in the absidiole, representing a naked woman of great beauty seeming to emerge from the sea. According to experts in Roman times, it would be the Venus goddess. It has a seventeenth century top with decor in bas-relief and three sarcophagi, probably merovingian, as well as a statue of saint. The chapel was restored in 1904 and searched in 1918.
