The chapel of the blessed is located on the heights of Saint-Saëns. Believers or not come there for their children. The building would have the power to make babies walk! At the foot of the statue of Saint-Saëns, we sometimes find baby shoes, proof of the passage of parents worried about their children.

The original construction of the building dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries, partly destroyed by lightning on June 10, 1883. In 1896 it was decided to demolish and completely rebuild the church. In front of the church, you can admire the Dillard Fountain. This dates from 1901. Although he died about fifteen years before its construction, Mr. Dillard was keen to supply the city with drinking water and it was with this objective that he made a legacy in his will, a legacy which was contested by the family and whose lawsuit against the town of Saint-Saëns failed. The Dillard Fountain remained operational until 1960 when the city was connected to drinking water.

It is open to individual visits during the July-August period from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., except on reception days for weddings or other events.
