Plaques giving thanks for the miracles and graces received from Our Lady of Rocamadour. 😇
Legend has it that when a miracle occurs this 9th-century bell (coined the Miracle Bell) rings! 🔔
The 'Rugby Chapel', aka the Saint Louis – Notre-Dame de l’Ovalie Chapel. Consecrated in 2011 to 'Our Lady of the Oval' and dedicated to dead and injured players and their families.
Filled with rugby-themed ex-votos. Stained glass window added in the early 2020s.

Having studied the 'Miracles of Our Lady of Rocamadour' and having followed the 12th-century pilgrims in my mind as they wind their way up steep mountain tracks and over river gorges on their mules or horses, I was delighted to discover that the terrain around Rocamadour is exactly as I imagined!

More from the 'Rugby Chapel' (Our Lady of the Oval').
The crypt and chapel of St Amadour. His relics are no longer there, but the site where his remains were discovered is a focus for veneration (3rd image).

Our Lady of Rocamadour is famous for interceding on behalf of sailors and captives, hence the ship theme and shackles in the chapel!

Thrilled to visit Rocamadour (France) yesterday! 😍
Founded in response to the discovery of the relics of a hermit, St Amadour. However, it became a famous pilgrimage destination in the 12th century when numerous miracles were attributed to a statue of Our Lady of Rocamadour.
