The Chapel

Ste Catherine is so called because of the Chapel. It dates back to the 13th century and is in fact our closest neighbour. Registered as a historical monument it was a coaching inn on the route of the Compostelle to Spain, centre for pilgrimages for centuries passed. On the 1st Sunday of August the one and only service of the year takes place. Well worth a visit and only a stones throw away.
