This is a 17th-century chapel. It stands on the wild coast and is a jewel of our religious heritage. Thanks to the association's efforts, it is often open, allowing many visitors, hikers (the chapel is located along the GR 34 hiking trail), and tourists to spend a few moments in their prayers. The chapel is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., from Palm Sunday to All Saints' Day and during the Christmas holidays. Outside of these periods, the chapel is open every Sunday. The site and location of the chapel were already a place of worship in prehistoric times. A menhir, now lost, located near the chapel was long venerated. The presence of a Gallic stele to the south attests to a sacred place in the Celtic period. The site was later Christianized: two granite crosses dating from the early Middle Ages can be found next to the fountain and next to the chapel. In the fountain below the chapel, young children, or simply their shirts, were dipped to ensure their strength and health, help them speak or walk, or cure eye ailments. Read about this below the bottom of the parish letter, dating from 1856. https://www.chapelleslandunvez.fr/saint-samson
