400 metres from the village of Chalet, in the municipality of Massiac in Cantal, stands a pretty 12th-century Romanesque chapel, perched on a basalt overhang.
A listed Historic Monument, the lava stone building is positioned right at the edge of the cliff but is easily accessible. It used to be part of a small feudal castle. As well as its flagstone roof, pinnacle and porch with an awning called a "caqueteuse", the chapel also has some old murals.
A place of contemplation visited by pilgrims on 22 July, the site of the Chapel of St. Magdalene in Chalet will offer you wonderful views of the town of Massiac and the Alagnon Valley!
