Piégros-La-Clastre combines religious buildings, a pilgrimage tradition, and named routes through the Drôme Valley landscape.
Culture and History
The Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption features capital decorations with archaic or floral motifs, including capitals depicting angels surrounded by two animals. The Saint-Médard monastery was restored between 1988 and 1995 as part of international work projects organised by Jeunesse et Reconstruction. From 1304 onwards, the Antonines used the Saint-Médard monastery as a hospital for treating leprosy and ergotism.
The present-day building of the Chapelle de Brunelle was constructed in 1727 by Jean de Sanglier. The Chapelle de Brunelle is a traditional pilgrimage site, with a pilgrimage taking place on the second Sunday in September.
