This unknown heritage, dear to the Callassians, deserves to be known. The association will welcome you to the Saint Auxile Chapel on Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon to tell you what we currently know about the origin and history of this large chapel. A slideshow will explain the steps and choices in the restoration of the building as well as that of the paintings including the magnificent Baroque redoubt. The stages of the restoration revealed some surprises. The tour lasts between 20 minutes to 3/4 hours, interactively with the public. Groups limited to 10 people to facilitate exchanges and due to current health conditions.

The Saint Auxile Chapel, dedicated to the Bishop of Fréjus martyred in 480, erected during the 7th century, remodeled many times until the 18th century and restored in 1998, has, among other things, a large Baroque altarpiece classified of great quality. The last restoration made it possible to discover some peculiarities that will be explained during the visit using a slideshow. The building, which is a traditional pilgrimage site (the first Sunday in May), is rarely accessible to the public.
