Chapels were built between the 15th and 17th centuries to perpetuate the cult of divinity and purify villages from the calamities of the time.
So, in the villages you pass through, you’ll find several chapels dedicated to saints renowned for their blessings.
In Sablet, for example, prayers were said at the Saint Roch chapel to combat epidemics, and others were recited at the Saint Nazaire chapel for temporal problems.
During these uncertain times, the inhabitants also venerated the Virgin Mary, as at the Notre Dame de l’Annonciade chapel in Crestet.
Along the way, discover the ruins of thefemale Abbey of Prébayon, built in 611 on the initiative of Rusticule, a woman whose family owned the abbey lands.
Like Rusticule, you’ll come across the chapels of the strong personalities who have left their mark on history.
As you hike and imagine the history of the local heritage, you’ll appreciate the peace that now reigns in these villages.
