Saint-Siméon Chapel - Sainte Honorine des Pertes
Limestone building was built in the 13th or 14th century. It was rebuilt in the 19th century.

The chapel is mentioned in the book Pelut de Bayeux under the name
from “capella sancti simeones”.
The chapel was a place of pilgrimage until it was damaged during the landings in June 1944. Below, on the cliffside, the Saint-Siméon fountain has no longer been accessible since 1960. Until the Second World War, the faithful came to the chapel to implore Saint Simeon for healing from “fevers”: malaria called “trembling fever”, Malta fever, etc. The sick went to drink the water from the fountain, or even soaked their cloths in it. We also bathed rickety children there. The statue of Saint Simeon is preserved today.
in the church of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes and continues to be the object of practices
of pilgrimage.
