Hello, always to Fecamp, it finds a Chapel perched in the top of the cliff (Norman tradition surement). In here is a distant sight to take advantage of it completely.

At about the year 1000, Robert le Magnifique was offshore on a boat. There was a storm. He prayed and promised to make build 3 chapels if he was saved. And so the chapel of Our Lady of the Safety(Salute) was built to Fécamp. It is an ex-voto, as well as the chapels of Caen and Honfleur. We saw the other ex-voto inside the chapel: there were paintings(boards) of painting representing boats, statues, patches, and models. Over the altar, there is a virgin and a child Jesus which have the black face. Formerly, it was also a place of pilgrimage: sailors' families went(took) up a road trés stiff on the knees up to the chapel. This road always exists: his name is the path to sailors. The chapel is a bitter.

Salut Gaetan,
J'aime bien cette chapelle dans son écrin de verdure. Le doré de la statue ressort bien aussi. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas quelques nuages dans ce ciel bleu!

Amiclement.
Philippe

Bonjour Gaetan,
Belle image et belle histoire également de cette chapelle millénaire! Un témoin du passé d'une grande valeur historique que les générations futures devront absolument protéger.
Jolie compo.
Amitiés et bon dimanche.

Bonsoir Gaetan,

Une vue intéressante sur cette chapelle, al succession des sommets des diférents toits suggère une belle diagonale qui structure agréablement on image.
Amicalement et excellent dimanche,
