The Saint-Frézal chapel stands in a pleasant green setting, near the Frézal spring. Its waters come from a resurgence of the Causse de Fraissinet. Thus the thick buttresses attached to the chapel serve to support the building during floods
It is a pilgrimage chapel: the main altar is actually a sarcophagus containing the remains of Saint Frézal, bishop of Gévaudan in the 9th century. In charge of putting an end to the idolatrous practices of the inhabitants, he was murdered by his nephew in 828. His relics, as well as the Frézal spring, have been the object of a particular devotion.
The building, which seems to date from the 13th century, is built entirely of carefully dressed limestone, with a central nave of four bays with a broken barrel vault. The very narrow Romanesque bays are pierced at the top and the embrasures are deep. On one of the stained glass windows, one can see the arms of La Canourgue, the two fleurs-de-lis and the greyhound running.
