Chapelle de la Madeleine

The chapelle de la Madeleine is located 7 km above Tardets, 7 m from the town square. It was built on the foundations of a Roman temple: a votive altar with a Latin inscription dedicating the altar to the Basque god Herauscoritsehe is preserved at the Herauskorritxe interpretation center in Tardets (on the 2nd floor of the Tourist Office).
There are several ways to get there. The first is by car, along the road that leads to the foot of the chapel. The second is by bike, either on the same road or along the footpaths. Much sportier! The third is on foot, following the signposted itinerary. From the chapelle de la Madeleine, an orientation table shows the location of the surrounding peaks, with the added bonus of a magnificent 360° view over the entire upper Soule valley and the Pyrenees. The site is also very popular with aeromodellers.
