Peillon is a village perched on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by a steep ravine.
On the stairs which take the place of streets give access steps to the houses, which arcades, thrown over narrow streets, connect them together.
The village has completely retained its medieval appearance. Few streets: everywhere staircases winding among flowered houses, and numerous arched passages.

The chapel was built in the middle of the 15th century.
A brotherhood of White Penitents was founded, probably at the same time, but was first to meet in the church of the Château de Peillon.
This brotherhood must have become the owner of the chapel, probably around 1661, the oldest date in the preserved registers of the brotherhood. The brotherhood then enlarged the chapel by adding a short nave, higher and wider than the original chapel.

Peillon is a small town perched in the foothills of the Alpes-Maritimes.

In a green, wooded and cultivated valley thanks to a unique network of irrigation canals that cross the entire town, the architectural heritage is rich.
