Point of view on the Roannaise coast

This "Fatima Chapel" is dedicated to the Mother of God. It was named after the town of Fatima in Portugal, where Mary appeared several times to some shepherd children in 1917 (i.e. during the First World War). Our Lady revealed three mysteries to the children in several apparitions. Pope John Paul II attributed his survival of the assassination attempt on him that took place on May 13, 1981 - the commemoration of the first apparition of Mary in Fatima - to Our Lady there. The bullet that almost killed him was later incorporated into the crown of the statue of Mary at Fatima as a votive offering.

Just don't be misled by the statement in the yellow outdoor guide that the shell was wrongly glued to this junction. The route has been deliberately chosen so that you can get past this attraction. And it's really worth it, because the view from the tower is amazing!

You can climb the tower of the chapel. A narrow spiral staircase leads to the top. There you have a fantastic view.
