    "The Saint-Martin chapel probably occupies the site of an ancient pagan temple built along a Roman road: in fact, on one side, Saint-Martin is located along a road which once linked the road Nîmes-Alba with roads along the Rhône valley and, on the other, a Roman funerary stele used for reuse in the base of a pillar of the chapel attests to the pagan origin of the site2.

    The current chapel dates from the 11th and 12th centuries2,3: its construction began around 1050, in a place where the regional market was held4. This market having been transferred to Bagnols in 1223 on the orders of King Louis VIII4 (who also demolished the castle of the Count of Sabran which dominated the village), the chapel was abandoned by the markets and pilgrims and has not survived.
