Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Graces, Cotignac

A small hilltop chapel & sanctuary on the outskirts of Cotignac

featured in Sights & Sites

This chapel was originally built after a local woodsman saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary in the clouds above the site in 1519. The first stone for the building was laid a month after the vision.

The chapel still holds services to this day and is a place that many people make pilgrimages to.

There is a shop on site where you can buy books and a drink.

When to come

The Sanctuary is open daily from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm.
