Chapelle Sainte-Avoye, Renaissance chapel in Pluneret, France.

The rectangular chapel measures 28 meters in length and 8 meters in width, featuring a western tower and stone exterior walls.

The first stone was laid in September 1554, and the chapel underwent modifications after lightning struck its original tower in 1727.

The chapel contains a polychrome oak screen from 1557, displaying twelve carved figures on each side and separating the choir from the nave.

Visitors can explore the chapel during guided tours every Saturday between 3 PM and 6 PM throughout the year.

A quartz block inside the nave, known as Saint Avoye's boat, bears three engraved symbols and draws parents seeking strength for their children.
