"Built in 1723 by the sailors of La Ferté and with the agreement of the Pope, in order to create their own Parish vis-à-vis the Upper Town, this chapel is decorated with a bell tower which is the miniature replica of the old bell tower of the Saint-Martin church disappeared in 1786 during a storm.

Traditional materials were used there with an alternation of cut flint, bricks and limestone. Currently, it can be visited during exhibitions or concerts. "

Les matériaux traditionnels y ont été utilisés avec une alternance de silex, de briques et de calcaire taillés. Actuellement, on peut la visiter lors d'expositions ou de concerts. "
