The whitewashed chapel, which is simply designed on the outside, has no turret, but there is a small niche above the door on the entrance side - there is a seated Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus on her lap - and above that on the gable wall is a cross. The interior is also simple but dignified: in the apse there is a large statue of the Virgin Mary, on the side wall on the right a crucifix and on the left a framed picture of a saint.

A beautiful chapel along the way, with an interesting information panel about the escape of a French officer during World War II.
