Almost Nice: La Chapelle de Notre Dame

I couldn't let Easter go by without a photo of a Church. This is La Chapelle de Notre Dame du Pre du Brusc and this is all that remains of a huge basilica that was built here in the 12th century though there's been a church here since the 5th century...which is a long time.
I've read that it marked a stopping place on the pilgrim's way to Santiago de Compostela.

The site is certainly a pleasant one and in the early summer there are musical concerts in the grounds and church.

There was a time when you could go into the chapel which has a serene simplicity but those days are gone and nowadays you have to make an appointment to pray.
