Chapelle Saint-Sauveur , Saint-Honorat Island, Chapel on Saint-Honorat Island, Cannes, France

Chapelle Saint-Sauveur is a small chapel on Saint-Honorat Island, near Cannes, France. It has a pale plastered facade with a round opening and a wooden door under a stone arch, and its plan is an octagon about 8 meters (26 feet) across, with six niches inside and an apse opposite the entrance.

The site was first occupied in the 5th century, when a small church and an annex were built for monks living as hermits. The current octagonal chapel was built around the 11th century, replacing earlier structures, and its star vault was added in the 12th century.

The chapel is one of several small chapels on the island, and its position among the olive trees reflects a tradition of walking between places of worship. Visitors today can see how the building fits into the landscape and imagine the processions that once moved from one chapel to another.

The chapel is on the northwest side of the island, among olive groves and close to the boat landing. Visitors can walk there easily from the landing, but the interior is small and may be closed, so it is best to check locally before planning a visit.

Archaeological digs in 1948 found no baptismal font, which challenges the idea that the chapel was a baptistery. The site also revealed a dump from the 8th century, showing the monks left the island for a time.
