Located in an elevated position above the rocky coastline with stunning views out to sea this tiny Chapelle is so beautiful and definitely worth stopping for. The chapel has Saint Samson as its patron saint, the second patron is Saint Yves. The recent stained glass window of the north window presents Saint Anne. The stunning altarpiece dates from the 17th century and shows, in sculpture, the 5 joys, the 5 sorrows and the 5 glories of the Virgin. The altar, with its decorations, probably dates from the end of the 18th century. They were restored in 2025, and the painter Augustin Frison-Roche created the work of art "Mary Protectress and the Iroise Sea" which was placed in the centre of the altarpiece. There is a fountain below the chapel where small children, or simply their shirts, were dipped to ensure their strength and health, to help them speak or walk, or to cure eye ailments. Cette mignonne petite chapelle, perchée sur la falaise, fait face à la mer depuis le XVIIème siècle. Outre le joli point de vue, il faut entrer dans l'édifice qui est souvent ouvert grâce au dévouement d'une association locale. Deux belles statues en bois (St Samson et St Yves) se trouvent de part et d'autre de l'autel. Ex-voto, bouquet de fleurs, cierges animent ce lieu. En descendant le chemin, on trouve une fontaine miraculeuse. Beautiful church in very scenic location Peaceful pause facing the sea Un endroit magnifique, un sentier pédestre long mais bien dégagé qui invite à la réflexion sur un paysage superbe et à l'harmonie entre l'homme, la nature et la mer. Un environnement prospère dans lequel on peut encore découvrir un patrimoine historique breton en excellent état Beautiful little chapel set on the cliffs. Fantastic views at sunset. On the GR34 round Brittany walking route. Magic ! Amazing views.
