Erected within the 10th century, the chapel meanwhile next to a roundabout, just outside Pezens. The road (D6113) runs west to Castelnaudry and was used already by pilgrims on their way to Santiago during medieval times. "Horseshoes" are one both sides of chapel´s portal. These horseshoes are very typical graffiti carved by pilgrims travelling with horses or mules.

These horseshoes are very typical graffiti carved by pilgrims travelling with horses or mules. I found horsehoe-graffiti all along Via Tolosana in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume (Var), Arles (Bouches-du-Rhône), Baillargues (Hérault) and here. And many of them on the hospital in Pons (Charente-Maritime), what is part of the Via Turonensis.
