Notre-Dame de la Galline, Roman Catholic chapel in Les Riaux, France.
Notre-Dame de la Galline features a rectangular nave built with limestone blocks, supporting cross-ribbed vaults under curved tile roofing.
The medieval building was consecrated as the Church of La Nerthe on March 3, 1042, by Bishop Pons II of Marseille.
A statue placed in 1430 depicts the Virgin Mary with baby Jesus holding a hen in his left hand, symbolizing protection.
The chapel holds monthly Mass services and remains closed outside scheduled times, requiring advance appointments through Mr. Fouque for visits.
The name Galline comes from the Provençal word galino, meaning hen, referring to the statue of Virgin Mary with Jesus holding a hen.
