Chapelle Notre-Dame de Roumé, Medieval chapel in Cieutat, France.

The Notre-Dame de Roumé chapel stands on a small elevation, enclosed by a stone wall, with a bell gable containing a single bell.

Built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries, this chapel represents one of the oldest structures on the pilgrimage route from Vézelay to Santiago de Compostela.

The chapel contains classified furnishings including a 17th-century altarpiece, a Virgin and Child statue, and traditional altar elements that reflect regional religious art.

Located 1 kilometer south of Cieutat village along the D120 road, the chapel opens four times annually for special pilgrimages.

The chapel's masonry combines dressed stone, rubble, and pebbles, with a wooden barrel vault that replaced an original stone structure.

Unusual monuments in France: alternative architecture, unique museums, and lesser-known sites

France hosts monuments that go beyond common tourist routes. Individual creations like Ferdinand Cheval's Palais Idéal in Hauterives, built stone by stone over 33 years, sit alongside architectural reconversions like the Molitor Pool in Paris or the Contemporary Art Museum set in a 17th-century manor in Saint-Romain-au-Mont-d'Or. These sites reflect unique stories and urban transformations worth exploring. This selection includes themed museums dedicated to magic in Blois, mechanical instruments at La Borde, fairground arts in Paris, and firefighters in Montville. It also features total art works like the Maison Picassiette in Chartres, entirely decorated with ceramic mosaics, and the Robert Tatin Museum in Cossé-le-Vivien. From Montmartre cemetery where Degas and Zola are buried to works by self-taught artists, these monuments offer different perspectives on French heritage and deserve a visit to explore lesser-known facets of the territory.
