Presentation

It has often been said that this chapel was built at the request of Jean de Gantès (1328-1389), following the battle of Trémourèdes which raged around the building. This is incorrect, because in 1268, following a meeting with Bishop Gaultier Gauffridi (1262-1276), the sacristan was granted Cuers with the clerical chapel of Saint-Jean; this endowment therefore confirms the existence of the building in this second half of the 13th century. The roof was completely redone in 1984. An ex-voto is dated 1772.
