    The Saint-Valery chapel, also known as the "sailors' chapel", is an emblematic place in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, nestled on the heights of the town, in a picturesque and peaceful setting. Its location offers you a superb view of the Bay of Somme. In neo-Gothic style, the chapel is built in stone, with the famous sandstone and flint checkerboards. The bell tower is topped with a cross above which a metal gull indicates the direction of the wind. The stained glass windows tell episodes from the life of Saint Valery. Ex-votos, often in the form of models of boats or commemorative plaques, are placed there by the sailors in thanks for their survival or in homage to those who perished.

      The chapel is also called the Sailors' Chapel. It lies quietly and secluded on the hill above the bay.
