Chapelle Notre-Dame d'Estours, Medieval chapel in Monistrol-d'Allier, France.
Notre-Dame d'Estours Chapel features a Romanesque choir with ribbed vaults and a semicircular apse decorated with five internal arcades supported by columns.
Built in the 12th century by the same builders as Le Puy-en-Velay Cathedral, the chapel underwent expansion in 1560 following destruction during the Religious Wars.
The sanctuary hosts an annual pilgrimage every first Sunday of September, gathering numerous devotees around the Virgin Mary statue for religious ceremonies.
Visitors can reach the chapel by following the D589 road to La Vialle, then continuing on a hiking path that leads to the site at 800 meters elevation.
According to local tradition, the Virgin Mary statue repeatedly returned to its rocky location after each attempt to relocate it to surrounding churches.
