In 1958 the land around the chapel was cleared in order to create a medecinal berbs garden.
Inside the chapel the décoration of the walls was carried out by the talented Jean Cocteau, honorary citizen of Milly la Foret.
Since april 23 M, 1964, at the request of his family, Jean Cocteau lies inside the Chapel.
