Chapelle des pénitents blancs, Medieval chapel in Brantes, France
The Chapel of White Penitents stands at the edge of Brantes village, featuring a round niche above its entrance that contains a black Madonna statue.
Built in the early 18th century, this religious structure replaced a previous chapel dedicated to Saint Alexis that no longer met the community needs.
The chapel served as the headquarters for the White Penitents brotherhood, a lay organization focused on charity work and spiritual development through voluntary penance.
The chapel functions as an information center and exhibition space, displaying details about restoration work carried out by the local association.
Located on the slopes of Mont Ventoux, this chapel overlooks the Toulourenc Valley in a village with only 88 residents spread across 2,818 hectares.
