Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Lorette
Highlight • Other
At that time, Philip of Savoy fell from his horse near the site where the chapel was later built. His wife, Margaret of Bourbon, fearing for his life, vowed to build an oratory and a church in Brou if he survived. He recovered, but sadly, his wife died in 1483.
It was therefore his second wife, Claudine de Brosse, also known as Claudine de Bretagne Penthièvre, who had the chapel built on the spot where her husband had his accident. Initially, it was a small oratory: a ribbed vault without any openings.
It was Margaret of Austria, daughter-in-law of Margaret of Savoy, who fulfilled the second vow. In 1867, the chapel was enlarged and looted. A statue of the mother and child, which had been placed in a niche on the facade, was replaced by a painting.

Lavoir de l'Areymont - Château du Mollard

The nearby wayside cross dates from the 18th century.
The Château du Molard, near the Place de la Halle, was built in the 16th century by the de la Forest and Paquelot families. The low arch of the entrance gate bears the date 1574 alongside the coats of arms of the two families. The Crozet family added a tower topped with a tall, pointed roof and two wings in 1878.
