The original chapel (very old, Romanesque architecture) stood on one of the finest viewpoints overlooking the Baie. It was built over the tomb of the apostle of Vimeu. A new chapel (in Neo-Gothic style) was built in its place in 1878, under the aegis of Father Caron, priest and historian of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme from 1872 to 1893. It has traditional 'checkerboard' walls, alternating limestone and flint. Below the building stands the miraculous well of Fidélité (Faithfulness), which was fully and carefully restored in 2013.

Tips by Hervé

Or rather the chapel of Saint Valery known as the "sailors' chapel" because there is a seagull on top of its spire instead of the usual weathercock, a tribute to sailors who sounded their fog horns to salute the building as they sailed by.
