Chapelle des Pelotes is the chapel of an abandoned seminary in France. The chapel is in very good condition, with a number of statues suspended on tall stone pillars.

The seminary has been out of use for a few years, but has mainly been stripped of anything photogenic so we focused on just the chapel for our visit.
