Only the two stone beams form a cross in its simplest form, yet in a highly exposed location overlooking the bay that extends inland here. And of course, this small sacred monument—like all crosses encountered by hikers along the way—is an essential Christian symbol. It stands for the memory of his crucifixion, but at the same time also for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The following quote comes from the important French order founder and doctor of the Church, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux: + "With us on earth there is His memory, but in the kingdom of heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, we who are still wanderers, traveling toward the Fatherland."

This is a 17th-century chapel. It stands on the wild coast and is a jewel of our religious heritage. Thanks to the association's efforts, it is often open, allowing many visitors, hikers (the chapel is located along the GR 34 hiking trail), and tourists to spend a few moments in their prayers. The chapel is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., from Palm Sunday to All Saints' Day and during the Christmas holidays. Outside of these periods, the chapel is open every Sunday. The site and location of the chapel were already a place of worship in prehistoric times. A menhir, now lost, located near the chapel was long venerated. The presence of a Gallic stele to the south attests to a sacred place in the Celtic period. The site was later Christianized: two granite crosses dating from the early Middle Ages can be found next to the fountain and next to the chapel. In the fountain below the chapel, young children, or simply their shirts, were dipped to ensure their strength and health, help them speak or walk, or cure eye ailments. Read about this below the bottom of the parish letter, dating from 1856. https://www.chapelleslandunvez.fr/saint-samson
