Chapelle Saint-Aubert, Medieval chapel at the northwestern base of Le Mont-Saint-Michel, France.

The stone chapel stands on a rocky outcrop at the base of Mont-Saint-Michel, featuring Romanesque architectural elements from the 12th century.

The chapel was constructed to commemorate Saint Aubert, the Bishop of Avranches who established the first sanctuary on Mont-Saint-Michel in 708.

The structure incorporates elements of medieval religious architecture, with a statue of Saint Aubert placed atop its gable in 1947.

Visitors can reach the chapel through a series of stone steps that wind around the northwestern section of Mont-Saint-Michel.

Local tradition states that a child's foot helped move an immovable stone during the chapel's construction, leading to its placement at this specific location.
