The Chapel of Caubin, a XIIth century Historical Monument was the target of vandalism on Saturday, February 19th. Three windows were broken open with stones, lanterns and projector destroyed and crosses of the cemetery broken into pieces.

Laurent Toral, president of the Association of the Friends of Caubin is shocked: «to freely degrade public facilities is already wrong, but to have no respect of sacred symbols and religious values, that is unacceptable and truly alarming !».
