Nice Chapelle with the view on the Baye de la Somme

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

From the chapel on the hill, there is a beautiful view of the bay and Le Grotoy.

Walk along the canal, enjoy the view from the benches

The church is built of natural stone with a characteristic pattern. It consists of two naves, separated by high arches. The baptismal chapel is still part of the original church. A church was first mentioned in the 12th century, but the current church dates back to the 13th century. The church was repeatedly destroyed during the Hundred Years' War and was set on fire in 1475, when the city defended itself against the English and Burgundian rulers. The church was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century and reconsecrated in 1500, but construction activities lasted until 1559. During the French Revolution, the furniture was sold, shrines and paintings were burned and bells were melted down. In 1845, a rectangular brick building was built next to the tower. Next to the church is the heavy tower, equipped with buttresses. In 1786, it was crowned with a tent roof.

Perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sea air

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.
