Chapelle Saint-François de Paule, Gothic chapel in Fréjus, France

The Saint-François de Paule Chapel displays a gothic architectural design with a broken-arch doorway, rose window, and five supporting buttresses at the back.

The Minims Order established this religious building in 1522, following the passage of Saint François de Paule who reportedly cleared the city from plague in 1482.

The chapel maintains its religious function under the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon and received protection status as a classified historical monument in 1987.

The structure features stones from Roman ruins and local quarries, including red sandstone, while combining rubble stones with blocks and cut angles.

The bell tower rises through four distinct levels with irregular openings on each side and rounded arches specifically designed for the bell chamber.
