The Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs

The Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs
The architectural originality of this chapel lies in its bell tower : a cupola with a multi-coloured tiled roof. It was included in the list of historical monuments in 1944. From then on it has been housing numerous temporary exhibitions in line with the Musée de Vence / Fondation Emile Hugues.
Situated on the former Roman road leading to Castellane, expanded in the XVII century, this chapel was the seat and the praying area of the confraternity of the PénitentsBlancs, fully committed to serve the poor and the sick.
