Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Vie de Mougins, Roman chapel in Mougins, France

The Notre-Dame-de-Vie chapel features a large three-arched porch and a square bell tower with walls adorned with votive offerings.

Built in the 12th century, the chapel underwent reconstruction in 1655 while maintaining its initial structure and received historical monument status in 1927.

Pablo Picasso spent his final years in the adjacent residence, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, where he passed away on April 8, 1973.

The site offers free access daily during July and August, weekends in May, June, September, and Sundays from October through April.

Until 1730, the chapel served as a sanctuary for stillborn children, whose remains rest beneath a stone slab engraved with an epitaph.
