Chapelle de la Madeleine de Tardets

Tardets-Sorholus

Built in the 19th century on the site of a Roman temple (of which a cippus bearing Latin inscriptions survives), this chapel once marked the pilgrim routes to Compostela. It drew two quite distinct publics: young women in search of a husband, and the mentally ill who came seeking a cure. Processions are still held here every year on the feast of Saint Mary Magdalene (22 July).
