This chapel was built in the 16th century by Canon Antoine Poliac. Originally a chaplain, housed in a building adjacent to the sanctuary, served a small hamlet of about fifteen houses. The latter was set on fire by lightning in 1628\\. The chapel was then destroyed and rebuilt a few years later. Sold in 1795 as Bien National and emptied of its furniture and interior ornaments, the chapel was then used as a barn. Bought by the clergy in 1820, it housed a new chaplain who created in the adjacent premises (now demolished) a Latin class of about fifteen students. The last guardian of the sanctuary, Victor Mottard, a former page at the Court of Kings of Piedmont-Sardinia, was buried in 1895 in the small cemetery of the chapel. The chapel ND of Good News is always open to worship, but it is only rarely celebrated there. The patronal feast of the chapel takes place on March 25, the day of the Annunciation.
