Around 1096, some children found a statue of the Virgin Mary in the trunk of a chestnut tree. They put it in the church, but the next day it was back in the tree.
This miracle led to the construction of the chapel on the site of the tree.
The walls are adorned with frescoes by Roch Popelier. He devoted 3 years to the project. You can read about the life of Saint Francis of Assisi among the animals.
