Guide of the Hautes-Alpes

In the heart of the Champsaur region, in the peaceful hamlet of L'Aubérie in the village of Bénévent-et-Charbillac, stands the adorable and original Saint-Grégoire chapel, or chapel of the Pétètes (pétète means doll in the local language). Built in the middle of the 18th century by Jacques Pascal, a builder-carpenter living in the hamlet, it is unusual because it is decorated with Naive statues representing saints. It is a gem of traditional popular art and is today a listed historic monument.
