A simple chapel, built on an ancient trail linking la Brigue to Liguria to thank the Virgin when a dried up spring gave water again.
What makes it so special are the 15th centuries frescos covering all its walls. Two painters, Jean Baleison (choir) et Jean Canavesio (nave) turned it into a "alpin Sixtine".

The chapel is 4 km away from La Brigue village, in the Roya valley. Do not miss it if you're in the valley. From the "la Brigue" train station located on the Nice - Tende - Cuneo line it's a 5km, 1 hour easy walk.
