Chapelle de la Madeleine, Church building and free flight site in Tardets-Sorholus, France.

The Chapelle de la Madeleine stands at 795 meters elevation, offering views of the Pyrenees mountain range and the upper Soule valley.

The chapel was built upon the foundations of a Roman temple, where a votive altar with Latin inscriptions dedicated to the Basque deity Herauscoritse once stood.

The site represents the intersection of religious heritage and modern recreational activities, serving both as a chapel and a location for model aircraft enthusiasts.

Visitors can access the chapel by car, bicycle, or foot through marked paths starting from the Tardets town square, following a 7-kilometer route.

The chapel grounds include an orientation table that identifies the surrounding mountain peaks while functioning as a launch point for remote-controlled aircraft.
