This small chapel is all that remains of the primitive parish church of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, built in the 11th century and demolished in 1864. It is dedicated to those perished at sea. It is surrounded by a marine cemetery.

A village with many dramas behind it. The chapel is full of memorial plaques of mostly young fishermen who disappeared or died at sea. To take a moment to think about it.
