At a building outside Gallargues, a hidden chapel waits for the wayfarer who journeys off the beaten path. Originally built in the 13th century, Hôpital Saint-Jacques has served as a resting place for pilgrims for over a thousand years. Now a museum, it is a hidden gem for those who enjoy architecture and design.

Hôpital Saint-Jacques is a building located at Gallargues-le-Montueux. It is entitled to an inscription as a historic monument in 2001. Despite the rules that say no strangers, the priest would open the door for them, offering sanctuary if they could pay. The building, which is now a museum, has a hidden chapel tucked away in the roof, built in medieval times. It is a hidden gem for those who enjoy architecture and design.
