Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptiste), to whom this chapel is dedicated, is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold between the Old and the New Testament. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven.
The memorial day of John the Baptist (Jean Baptiste) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Chapel, no longer known as the chapel of Grandmont. On this mini-loop you will of course discover the chapel, the remains of buildings still standing and, for about a year, the archaeological excavations which have brought to light old tombs and other discoveries to come.

Grandmont, emblematic village of Limousin. Every time I go there, always discover something, especially while talking. In particular on the excavations of the old Medieval church. The chapel imposes its visit, rarely seen so beautiful. Very simple, the frame is the first thing you notice. The altar, the relic and others do not demerit.
