Oratorie de Templiers in Lachapelle

Time of past OR future Camino
Holy Year from Pamplona 2010, SJPP 2011, Lisbon 2012, Le Puy 2013, Vezelay (partial watch this space!) 2014; 2015 Toulouse-Puenta la Reina (Arles)
I am still at the initial planning stage for my walk from Le Puy next Spring, as usual reading literature, history, art and architecture, while collecting any snippet of information which I may stumble or tumble across. Something interesting, beyond Moissac and after Auvillar the Camino enters what appears to be some very serious and very beautiful boondocks, a collection of small villages,-Bardigues to Saint-Antoine to Flamerans to Miradoux. Deviating from the Camino at Saint-Antoine and I do so love side trips and after some 71/2 – 8 kilometers south lies the village of Lachapelle in which is purported to be the church of St-Pierre. This church is also known as the Oratorie de Templiers-ah-if we could only perform one good deed for every bit of Templar architecture, real or imagined, and found along the Camino to Santiago the world would be a much better place-but now to my question. Has anyone every visited Lachapelle? Seen the Oratory? I understand that the key is to be found with one Madame Pontac living nearby. I would like to hear from someone who visited Lachapelle and who may describe the church.
Thanks
S.
