Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Ménour, Medieval chapel in Moulinet, France

Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Ménour is a Catholic sanctuary on a steep spur at 780 metres above the Bévéra valley, south of Moulinet. The present chapel, rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century, has a Renaissance facade bearing the monogram of Mary. It is reached only by a long 17th-century stone stair ramp that begins at a 42-metre bridge with three 7-metre spans, built later over the Sospel–Moulinet road opened in 1882.

The chapel was originally built in the 12th century as part of fortification structures serving both religious and defensive purposes. Major renovations in the 17th century gave it the form it retains today.

Masses are held at the chapel on 8 September, at Easter and at Pentecost; a procession once came on foot from Moulinet. A series of twelve oratories forming a Stations of the Cross links the sanctuary to the village.

The sanctuary is reached only by a long 17th-century stone stair ramp. It starts at a 42-metre bridge with three 7-metre spans, built over the Sospel-Moulinet road opened in 1882. A series of twelve oratories forming a Stations of the Cross links the chapel to the village of Moulinet. The site is classified by decree of 2 December 1937.

The two apses are not inside: they belong to two building phases of the sanctuary itself, the older one dating from the 12th century. That Romanesque church barred the whole rocky spur and was not oriented east but toward the north-east. A narrow, very regular window slit, like an arrow loop, suggests the Romanesque chapel served as an advanced defence for the nearby Château de la Ménour, destroyed in the early 15th century.
