Chapelle Sainte-Madeleine de Chalet, Romanesque chapel in Massiac, France.
The chapel stands on a basalt cliff overlooking the Alagnon valley, featuring a bell tower and a porch called caqueteuse at its entrance.
Dating from the 12th century, the chapel contains two lateral chapels from the 13th and 14th centuries and received historical monument status in 1982.
The vault displays a fresco depicting Christ in majesty within a mandorla, along with a tetramorph representing the four evangelists.
Visitors can access the chapel through designated paths, with the nearest parking facilities located in the town of Massiac below.
Local legends tell of two hermits living on opposite cliffs who communicated using a rosary that formed a bridge between their dwellings.
