This tiny little chapelle is perched 323 meters on a rocky outcrop above the little town of Mortain. Stunning views can be had from the look-out point across the countryside for many kilometers. On a clear day Mont Saint Michel can be seen.
'Hill 314' originally a German military look-out point in 1944 is to be found a 5 min walk away. Today it is a place to remember the many fallen soldiers, who died for their freedom. A memorial monument has been built in front of the Chapelle.
