Chapelle Saint-Sabin de Véranne, Religious chapel in Véranne, France.
The Chapelle Saint-Sabin stands at an elevation of 1120 meters, offering views over the Ternay dam and sections of the Rhône valley.
The chapel was constructed in 1683, replacing an earlier religious structure from the 4th century that had been built on the site of a pagan edifice.
A yearly pilgrimage takes place on Pentecost Monday, with an outdoor religious service honoring Saint Sabin as the protector of animals.
Visitors can reach the chapel by following marked trails from the Drevet parking area through cherry plantations and forest paths, requiring a 3.5-hour hike.
Local inhabitants collected Alchemilla, known as the herb of Saint Sabin, which they believed provided protection for their livestock.
