Chapelle Saint-Blaise-des-Simples
Chapelle Saint-Blaise-des-Simples, Romanesque chapel in Milly-la-Forêt, France.
The Chapelle Saint-Blaise-des-Simples features stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and architectural elements characteristic of twelfth-century religious buildings in France.
Initially constructed as part of a leper hospital during the twelfth century, the chapel served as a sanctuary where patients sought healing through prayers to Saint Blaise.
French artist Jean Cocteau created interior decorations in 1959, incorporating themes of medicinal herbs and resurrection throughout the chapel walls.
The chapel remains closed for renovations until 2025, with future admission prices ranging from 2.50 euros for students to 3 euros for adults.
Jean Cocteau selected this chapel as his final resting place, marking his grave with the inscription 'Je reste avec vous' on a large stone.
