Tips
In the 16th century, on the road which links Les Mesnuls to Montfort l´Amaury, an oak tree rises, the trunk of which houses an image of the Virgin Mary, highly venerated in the region. In 1646 an oratory was erected there.
This chapel is erected on an important place of pilgrimage, frequented in particular by Queen Marie-Antoinette. The current building replaces the first chapel destroyed during the Revolution.translated by
