Chapelle Notre-Dame des Anges, Religious sanctuary in Pignans, France

The Notre-Dame des Anges chapel sits at 780 meters altitude in the Maures massif, featuring a single nave and wooden Virgin Mary statue.

The chapel's foundation dates to 517 when Thierry I, son of Clovis, established it to commemorate a victory over the Visigoths.

The sanctuary maintains regular pilgrimages throughout the year, with major celebrations on Easter Monday, Ascension Day, and the Assumption of Virgin Mary.

Visitors can reach the chapel through marked paths from Pignans, while the sanctuary association provides guided tours and religious services.

The chapel displays unusual ex-votos, including a suspended crocodile donated by explorer Jules Gérard.
