    The Chapelle Sainte-Anne is a small chapel located on top of the dike of the Duchesse Anne, on the outskirts of Saint-Broladre, in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. The chapel was built in the 11th century to invoke the protection of Sainte-Anne against the flooding of the salt marshes. The current chapel was rebuilt in 1684, as evidenced by the inscription on the wall. The chapel has a simple shape with a wooden vault and a bell tower on the roof. Inside, there is an altarpiece from the 19th century and a painting with the names of the survivors of the World War II concentration camps. The chapel is a place of worship and pilgrimage for Sainte-Anne, the patron saint of Brittany. Every summer, on the fourth Sunday of July, a mass is celebrated and a procession is held with the wooden statue of Sainte-Anne. The chapel also offers a beautiful view of the bay and the island of Mont-Saint-Michel. The chapel is owned by the Conservatoire du littoral and has been registered as a historical monument since 1926.

      The chapel dates back to the 11th century. The patron saint, Sainte Anne, was also the patron saint of one of the most formidable embarkation projects of the day, the Digue de la Duchesse Anne, a dyke that closes the Marais de Dol to the Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel. The chapel was destroyed by a flood in 1630, but rebuilt in 1684. During the French Revolution, the chapel was secularized, restored in the second decade of the 19th century. Until today a procession of the surrounding catholic parishes takes place on the day of St. Anna.

      Around the chapel since 2005 there is a renaturation project to restore some of the existing until the 1960s at this point lagoons.

        At this tiny historic Chappelle brave off-road bikers can take the often muddy or grass-covered coastal dirt trail along the water towards Mont-Saint-Michel, or simply follow the EuroVelo route along the Digue de la Duchesse Anne, and occasionally weaving through the paved rural roads a few hundred meters inlands.
