Chapelle Saint-Blaise-des-Simples

The Chapelle Saint-Blaise-des-Simples is a historical monument located in Milly-la-Forêt, Essonne, France, and was built in the 12th century as the remaining vestige of a maladrerie, a convalescent home for victims of leprosy. Named after Saint Blaise, who was famed for healing using herbs, known as Simples, the chapel fell into disrepair in the 18th century, but was restored in 1959, with renowned artist Jean Cocteau overseeing its decoration. Cocteau designed the vitrails and murals, showcasing scenes from the resurrection and various medicinal plants that gave it its name. Cocteau himself was buried in this chapel after his death in 1963. Today, the chapel is surrounded by a garden featuring the medicinal plants that once grew within its walls.
