La Chapelle du Grace de Sainte Vierge Miraculeuse / The Chapel of Graces of the Miraculous Virgin
This is one of the most beautiful churches in the world. In 1830, a 24 year old nun, Sr. Catherine Laboure had 3 different meetings with the Virgin Mary. Was very happy to have been there, the chapel was full of people who gathered for the 12.30 mass. It was good to look at the beautiful workmanship inside the Chapel and also a moment with St Catherine Laboure.
