Chapelle Notre-Dame de Beauvoir, Medieval chapel in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, France

Notre-Dame de Beauvoir Chapel stands between two limestone cliffs, accessible by 262 stone steps above the village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

The religious structure, built in the late 12th century on the remains of a 5th-century temple, combines Roman and Gothic architectural elements.

During the 17th century, this chapel functioned as a sanctuary where parents brought their stillborn children in hopes of a miraculous baptism.

Access begins at Marcel Provence Street, following marked paths with fourteen Stations of the Cross decorated with faience tiles.

The chapel walls incorporate stones from former towers and ramparts that once protected the Paillerols district of the village.
