It is one of the 46 (!) Lourdes grottoes located in Vendée. On the other side of the bridge, you can see the Ursuline Convent of Jesus. A little further along the river, the Lourdes mill.

The Ursulines of Jesus, founded in Chavagnes in 1802, like many religious orders founded in the 19th century, have great devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes. These apparitions took place in Lourdes in 1858. This prompted many Catholics to build replicas of the Grotto of Massabielle (the site of the apparitions in Lourdes), such as in the Vatican, in Rhode-Saint-Genèse in Belgium, or here. Multiple ex-votos indicate many answered prayers.
