Sainte-Barbe Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Chapel dating from the 16th century, restored in 1732 (according to inscription). The pinnacle dates from the year 1609 (bears the date). Sainte-Barbe was the chapel of the coastguard whose batteries defended the port of Toul an Héry against the English invader, from the end of the 16th century until the Napoleonic era. It even served as a barracks when, in year IV, it received the artillerymen of the 2nd battalion of the Hautes-Alpes. However, the chapel existed long before the creation of the coastal militias. After the Revolution, the chapel of Sainte-Barbe was regularly maintained by Jacob, former boss of the customs of Toul an Héry, whose two sons, Yves and Joseph, continued as heads of the factory, to preserve the building piously. It belonged, according to René Couffon, to the Morlaix hospital during the Revolution and was sold as national property, then given to the factory on December 7, 1823. The building has been listed on the additional inventory of Historic Monuments since October 9 1934.

Saint James Church

Highlight • Historical Site

The pretty church has a Renaissance-style bell tower. Note the painted panels (18th century) of the vaults in the choir and transept. The main altar has a 16th-century altarpiece in high relief with naive scenes from the Passion.
