On one of the southern angles of the chapel, there are lines engraved into the angle stones that look like a crude sundial that might have been used on the construction project to measure the time worked. These markings appear on many Romanesque chapels and have been studied several times. Known as "Glyphe des romanes" (romane meaning Romanesque), they have been the object of several theories, none of which are conclusive. |

The chapel of Mayran boasted a number of ex-votos (offerings of thanks) that are now installed in the sacristy of the parish church. They can be seen during visits organized in the summer months. These naïve paintings are classed and protected for their historic importance. The oldest date back to the 17th century and the most recent to the 19th century. One of the most striking shows two farmers, father and son, who were attacked by a wolf in 1630. The two are seen fighting with the wolf under the protection of Our Lady of Mayran, who appears in a cloud. |
