Chapelle Sainte-Avoye, Renaissance chapel in Pluneret, France.
Chapelle Sainte-Avoye is a Renaissance chapel in Pluneret with a rectangular plan, solid stone walls, and a tower on the western end. The interior is divided by an ornately carved oak screen featuring figures on both sides.
Construction started in 1554 and shaped this region's religious architecture. A lightning strike later damaged the original tower, prompting repairs that altered its appearance.
The chapel serves as a gathering place where locals come to pray and light candles in quiet reflection. It remains rooted in the community's spiritual life and daily practice of faith.
Visiting is best during regular opening hours when the chapel is accessible and interiors can be viewed. A walk through the surrounding area helps you understand its setting within the local landscape.
Inside the chapel sits a quartz block known as Saint Avoye's boat, visited by parents seeking blessings for their children. The symbols carved into the stone reflect generations of personal devotion.
