This chapel was built in the XVIth century by the canon Antoine Poliac. At first this was the Chapl of a small hamlet who burn in 1628. It was rebulit just after the fire. Today the chapel is still used for religious ceremony few time a years.
Originally, a chaplain, housed in a building adjacent to the sanctuary, served a small hamlet of around fifteen houses. The hamlet was destroyed by lightning in 1628.
The chapel was destroyed and rebuilt a few years later.
Sold in 1795 as a national asset and stripped of its furnishings and interior ornaments, the chapel was then used as a barn.
Bought back by the clergy in 1820, it housed a new chaplain, who set up a Latin class for around fifteen pupils in the adjacent premises (now demolished).
The last custodian of the sanctuary, Victor Mottard, a former page at the Court of the Kings of Piedmont-Sardinia, was buried in the chapel's small cemetery in 1895.
The Notre-Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle chapel is still open for worship, but only rarely.
The chapel's patron saint's day is March 25, the day of the Annunciation.
