Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Genouillade, Medieval Roman Catholic chapel in Le Grau d'Agde, France.
The chapel features dark basalt stone walls and displays a distinctive burial lantern crowning its roof structure.
Built in 1653 under Henri I de Montmorency's direction, this chapel stands on a site where Virgin Mary reportedly appeared in the 5th century.
The chapel contains a rock formation with an indentation that local traditions identify as the Virgin Mary's kneeling imprint during a flood.
The chapel maintains daily opening hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and holds regular Sunday services led by Father Yannick or Father Berenger.
Fifteen small chapels called capelettes were constructed along the pilgrimage path between 1618 and 1640, with two remaining today.
