I am delighted to see and see again the basilica of "La chapelle Montligeon" and I am proud to have been the doctor of this charming village. In the year 2000 and following after 40 years of general medicine in Paris. R.G. Dean of the "couch of doctors".

From very humble beginnings, a significant sanctuary with a very unusual patronage has emerged in La Chapelle-Montligeon, one I've never encountered anywhere else: The church here, with the papal distinction of "Basilica Minor," is not one of the usual churches dedicated to Our Lady, but rather specifically to "Our Lady, the Liberator of Souls in Purgatory." The present pilgrimage church was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, as the previous building had become far too small for the pilgrims who came here.

Praying for your deceased is more than necessary. If you don't pray for yours, pray for mine. 🙏🏻😇

Before, this place was so unsanitary that the villagers called it the valley of the devils. Monks of the Carthusian order settled and transformed this place so much that they renamed it the "ValDieu". That was before. Now, when modern man transforms his environment, it is to pollute it. I can't wait for the wisdom of the monks to be rediscovered! 🙏🏻😇

Formerly La Loupe, Vaupillon and Saint Eliph formed only one parish called the Trinity of the Woods. The church contains a set of 3 painted stone altarpieces from the 17th century. One is dated 1646 and signed Delahays: it includes 3 sculptures: a trunk of grace, representation of the trinity in which God the father holds before him his son on the cross, the dove of the Holy Spirit hovering above his head You can also see a statue of the local saint in painted and gilded stucco and a Saint Sebastian in painted stucco, characteristic of the counter-reformation. A small chapel to the north was added in the 19th century which contains a pieta.
