This chapel is the oldest chapel in the parish, probably built in the 15th century by the Charvey family.
It is dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, patron saint of repentant girls, and Saint George, patron saint of horsemen, soldiers and knights. It was rebuilt under the episcopate of Bishop d'Arenthon d'Alex in 1679.
The façade has an oculus and a barred door. A wooden bell tower and its bronze bell dominate the chapel. Three remarkable religious objects can be seen there: a statue of Saint Mary Magdalene from the 16th century, one of Saint Sebastian from the 18th century and a popular art crucifix
