The chapel dates from the 17th century and was restored in the 20th century. The site of its establishment was not chosen at random, since it corresponds to the former location of the St-Michel de la Grêle priory, at the very beginning of the 11th century. Destroyed in the 17th century, and this time the revolution had nothing to do with it. Its reconstruction is more recent than that of the St Roch chapel (located at the other end of the village). Started in 1914, stopped by the war, it would not resume until the soldiers returned. Nestled under the trees, it is a place of ceremony during the annual pardon, which takes place on the Sunday following August 15. It has a bell dating from 1670.
