The Notre-Dame-de-Rocamadour chapel is a Catholic chapel located in Camaret-sur-Mer in Finistère. It is near the Vauban tower, on the Sillon. The chapel has been listed as a historical monument since March 4, 19351.

This low chapel is 25 m long and 13.5 m wide. In Logonna stone, it has a main nave extending into a choir and a sacristy to the northeast. The two aisles each have 4 arches (full arch and ogival). After the fire of 1910, the framework was rebuilt by François Keraudren, shipwright, in the shape of an upturned hull, paneled and painted blue. François-Joseph Keraudren also created the chair in 1914-1915. The large arched window was bricked up to protect it from flying pebbles during storms. The three doors have a Kersanton granite surround.

This chapel, surrounded by the sea because it is located on the furrow of Camaret (a natural pebble levee), was seriously damaged in its heights twice: first by the English in 1694, including a ball of cannon decapitated the bell tower (remained as it was), then in 1910, during a fire which ravaged its roof. But she is still there!

Many concerts are organized there each year, and people still get married there.

Open every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
