The old convent of the Sisters of Redemption

It is at high speed that the old convent of the Sisters of the Redemption undergoes the thunders of vandals who are looking for strong sensations.

Classified as a heritage building, the religious community deserted it in the mid-1990s for a retreat in a somewhat smaller place. Unoccupied for a few years, the building was sold in 2015 to a businessman from the region with a funeral center project for this hundred years old building.
