Chapelle Oratoire (Box A 2821): inscription by order of 9 September 1975
Origin and history
La Chapelle-Oratoire is a monument located in Tarascon, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Built between the 18th and 19th centuries, it embodies a religious heritage typical of this period, marked by local architectural influences and stylistic evolutions typical of modern and contemporary times.
The chapel was listed as a Historic Monument by order of 9 September 1975, which reflects its recognized heritage value. It is located precisely on the road to Mézoargues, at the address 9010 Route de Saint-Pierre de Mezoargues, although the accuracy of this location is considered mediocre (note of 5/10). This type of oratory often played a central role in the spiritual and community life of provençal villages.
Available data from Monumentum and the Merimée archives indicate that the chapel is protected under cadastral reference A 2821. No additional information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historical characters related to its construction or history. At that time, the region was marked by a strong rural economy and religious traditions, where chapels and oratories served as spiritual and social landmarks for the inhabitants.
