A little chapel in South of France
In the hills behind the little village Banyuls Sur Mer you will find this little chapel: Notre Dame de Salette.

Overlooking the vineyards and 'protecting' Banyuls. Situated at the foot of the Pyreenes.

Not the best weather this week - but fine enough for some hikes in the vineyards along the Mediterranean Coast close to the Spanish border.

The chapel has been built in 1863 by Bonaventure Reig certainly after a pilgrimage in La Chapelle-Tallavaux, a little village in Isère where in 1846 two young sheperd had an apparition.
It can be reached on a track leading off the "Route des Cretes" or on foot. There is an annual pilgrimage each September. It is now a national monument.
