Built in the 17th century, this magnificent chapel is adorned with paintings and model ships offered as votive offerings. Our Lady of Grace is indeed the patron saint of Honfleur and its sailors.
An earlier chapel was founded in 1023 by Richard II, Duke of Normandy, but it was destroyed in 1538 following a landslide. The current chapel was completed in 1613 and was listed as a historical monument in 1938.

In the middle of the esplanade, in the shade of some beautiful trees, stands a small chapel dedicated to N.D.-de-Grâce, whose image can be seen inside. The ornate 17th-century structure replaces a shrine that Richard II, 4th Duke of Normandy, is said to have built. The left chapel in the transept is dedicated to all Canadians of Norman descent, in memory of the countless settlers who left this spot on the coast for Canada. Inside, sailors express their thanks to Mary with ex votos in the form of small boats. Pilgrims flock all year round.

The chapel Notre-Dame de Grâce is built in 1600-1615 by the citizens and sailors of Honfleur. A primitive chapel was founded before the year 1023 by Richard II, then Duke of Normandy, to fulfill a wish made during a storm in which he almost died.
