Tips

Thierry SCHIAVI - Ô Gravel !

February 28, 2022

As the name suggests, the place was damp and water dripped through it.
This pretty chapel was built between 1968 and 2001 by Father Piquemal.
He first restored a Romanesque chapel near Arnave, near Tarascon (not that of Tartarin, the Ariège Tarascon) where a shelter was built for a miraculous stone reputed to cure epilepsy.
He was later appointed to Montardit and took care of the restoration of the church of Sainte-Croix and then restored this chapel.
“I started picking up pebbles, then stones all over the place, then I looked for a mason, he was masonry, I was doing the work... I was picking up pebbles, I was cutting beautiful stones... with the relentlessness of gold diggers. When the chapel was finished, I still had reserves of strength to build a Stations of the Cross outside. I had stones in mind. While walking through the woods in the area, I found large stones and wanted to take them away and put them on display. The idea that they could remain anonymous in the depths of the forests, under the foliage and the earth, seemed unfair to me. »
In 1985 the chapel became an official place of pilgrimage.

This very original site exudes a lovely atmosphere, even for non-Catholics, and is worth a detour.
