This chapel is actually called "Notre Dame de la Garde", which in German probably means "Madonna of the Protective Cloak". Over the centuries, many sailors have prayed here before and after setting off to fish in Newfoundland or Iceland and given thanks for a safe return home, which was and is by no means a given. The round building is unique in Brittany.

We also like to light a candle every now and then with thoughts of trust, requests and thanks for so many good things that we are allowed to experience!
