Chapelle des Pénitents Bleus

4 rue du 4 septembre, 34500 Béziers

Hérault

Occitanie

This ancient medieval church, sold to the Revolution, was restored to worship in the 19th century. Its porch «flamboyant gothic» is rare in Languedoc. The choir and several bays were destroyed in the 19th century, at the same time as the ramparts to which it was leaned. After having served as a meeting place for the representatives of the three Orders (Clergy, Nobility, Third State) for the drafting of the register of grievances, the chapel was sold to the Revolution, then bought and entrusted to the Brotherhood of Blue Penitents. Look at the huge model on the back wall, made between 1780 and 1810: it is the reproduction, to the millimeter, of a gunboat ordered by Louis XVI for the States of Languedoc. This warship patrolled along the coast of Biterrois, to discourage "Barbary pirates"...
