Les dolmens de l’Ismaël


Courry

St Sebastian’s Chapel
The village escaped a powerful wave of the plague in 1720, which ravaged surrounding valleys. In 1722 the chapel was built on this promontory to thank God for His protection. Each year, the second Monday of September was dedicated to the pilgrimage. It has since been moved forward to the last Monday in August so as to take place during the school holidays.
