Window in the abbey church, which Eugene Delacroix assembled from fragments he found in the ruins.

In the front of the abbey church is a stained-glass window that Eugene Delacroix reassembled from fragments he found in the ruins.

Nice church, worth a detour.

The tower of a Christian church is usually crowned with a cross – symbolizing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ – or a rooster – symbolizing the denial of Jesus by the Apostle Peter. In this chapel, dedicated to "Notre-Damé" ("Our Lady"), the viewer instead finds a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary at the top. From this prominent position, it overlooks land and sea. The builders surely understood this primarily as a sign of blessing the earth and water – and especially the people who sail the sea.

It looks quite nice from the outside, but unfortunately the entrance is closed for security reasons.

Unfortunately this chapel is closed for safety reasons.

This chapel, also known as the Chapelle des Marins, was built on the cliffs overlooking the sea in the 14th century and has been a place of pilgrimage for sailors ever since. You can enjoy the breathtaking view of the coast and the golden statue of the Virgin on the roof of the chapel while running on the paths that surround it.

On the map, the church is assigned to St-Vaast.
