Chapel of Saint-Jean-Baptiste

Chapel of Saint-Jean-Baptiste

Toulouse, FR

The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Chapel is a legacy of the "Confrérie toulousaine des Pénitents Gris", dating back to 11th April 1577. After the dissolution of the latter during the Revolution, the Brotherhood bought a piece of land in 1825 and the new chapel was blessed on August 7, 1827. It adopts an internal and external architecture as simple as it is intimate, and still continues to receive worship there thanks to the priests of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.

Chapel of Saint-Louis

Saint-Malo, FR

The Capuchin Chapel, completed in 1613, was part of a large Capuchin convent. On its grounds rise the old town hall, the Charcot College and private houses as far as rue Godard. These brothers of Saint-François were very popular. They preached parish missions, were chaplains on ships or missionaries in New France (in Canada). In other words, they had work in Saint-Malo and their convent was flourishing. The Revolution drove them out in October 1792. Part of the convent became the town hall of Port Solidor, another part became the women's prison. The chapel was used for ten-day worship and then became a court of law. All this was not without many successive transformations and renovations.

Chapel of Saint-Vincent de Paul

Chapel of Saint-Vincent de Paul

Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, FR

The Cradle of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul is located in a private sanctuary and site. The foundation of the chapel and the sanctuary were recognized as being of public utility in 1865. Since the 19th century, the site has worked to implement and make known the message of Saint Vincent: to serve the most needy in a spirit of simplicity, humility and charity, to go out to meet others, to welcome, care for, educate, form and evangelize. Thus, a hospice, an orphanage and a hostel were built.

Chapel of Sainte-Barbe

Chapel of Sainte-Barbe

Le Faouët, FR

On the western slope of the Ellé valley, the site dominates a difference in height of about 80 metres. This particular topography, deliberately chosen, has resulted in some unusual developments: a shortened plan for the Sainte-Barbe chapel, a separate bell tower and caretaker's house arranged at a break in the slope of the plateau. This first ensemble was completed around 1700-1708 by a second chapel dedicated to Saint Michael, a bridge and stairs distributing the various terraces, and a path leading to the devotional fountain located below. This exceptional composition is related to the Baroque achievements of site development for the promenade. Here it was not only a question of discovering the landscape of the valley - which was much less wooded at the time - but also of facilitating the reception of pilgrims and the processions of the pardons.

Chapel of Sainte-Barbe

Roscoff, FR

Built overlooking the harbour, the chapel and its white walls now serve as a bitter for navigation.
