Chapelle Saint-Christophe de Tain-l'Hermitage, Religious monument in Tain-l'Hermitage, France

The Saint Christopher Chapel sits on the Hermitage hill, surrounded by vineyards and offering views over the Drôme department and Rhône Valley.

The current chapel structure dates from 1864, built on the site of a former Roman temple dedicated to Hercules and a medieval religious building.

Local wine traditions intertwine with the chapel's heritage, as Sir Henri-Gaspard de Sterimberg planted vines near the chapel to produce wine for pilgrims.

The chapel belongs to Paul Jaboulet Aîné wine estate and opens its forecourt during summer evenings for temporary bar events.

The chapel contains an altar featuring a statue of Saint Christopher carrying the infant Jesus, reflecting its dedication to the patron saint of travelers.
