Located on the road to Eyragues, this beautiful votive oratory dedicated to
Saint-Gens consists of a low pedestal with a cornice and an entablature supporting the niche. The roof is in the shape of a basket handle, a form not
often found in the area due to its difficulty in construction, with decorative lateral volutes.
Saint-Gens was honored in the region until the beginning of the century by a pilgrimage in May to invoke rain during periods of drought.
