The first chapel was built here in the 15th century and was the destination of many pilgrims, some of them famous. It was destroyed during the French Revolution. The current chapel was built between 1877 and 1896 and had to be renovated several times due to weather conditions, most recently in 2020.

Chapel restored in 2020, the interior of which can be visited between May 1st and Heritage Day from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., including Sundays and public holidays. Splendid golden statue that looks a bit like that of Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseille. Beautiful view of the Ouche valley. A few benches and picnic tables, allow a little less than an hour to climb from Velars-sur-Ouche (preferably, take the winding paths rather than the steep shortcuts)

Toilets on site but be careful it is very rustic

Not only rivers as natural watercourses run through the country, but also many - artificially created - canals. In times long past, they were an essential part of the transport infrastructure, before rail and road took over this role. But even if this canal flowing through Burgundy is nowhere near as famous as the almost legendary "Canal du Midi" (which has at least been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the "Canal de Bourgogne" here near Dijon offers very nice opportunities for exercise in nature.

Very nice climb, however, with vehicles traveling quite quickly. As TomCler says very well, the climb to Chambolle is less busy, with brand new asphalt dating from the 2024 Tour de France

Superb descent, fully resurfaced for the 2024 Tour de France time trial. Low vehicle attendance, in any case lower than the Gevrey-Chambertin climb.

It's our lady of the pond, not of the pond

Thanks to volunteers, the chapel is open every Sunday and public holidays in the afternoon from May 1st until heritage days. In particular, you can climb the building with a superb view of the surroundings.
