Église Notre-Dame du Peuple de Draguignan

About

The Notre-Dame-du-Peuple Chapel is a chapel located in Draguignan in the French department of Var in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It depends on the parish of Draguignan of the diocese of Fréjus-Toulon.

The Dracenois raised this great chapel dedicated to the Virgin in 1524, in thanksgiving for being spared from the plague epidemic that ravaged the region. The building is flamboyant Gothic style. The facade dates from the 19th century. The interior has many ex-votos and a altarpiece attributed to the Nice school of the Bréa whose painting represents Our Lady of the Rosary. In 1638, Notre-Dame-du-Peuple was entrusted to the Brotherhood of the Grey Penitents. Saccagé à la Révolution française, it is bought as a national property by an individual who makes it a forage store, then it becomes a powder magazine. In 1853, parish priest Nard bought it back, restored it and restored it to worship. It has been since 1905 well of the commune. The Missionaries of Divine Mercy celebrate Sunday Mass in Latin at 10.30 a.m. The early Sunday Mass on Saturday evening is celebrated in French, as well as the Mass on Wednesday and Friday evening.
