THE CHAPEL OF OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDALLION
Go there and contact
The chapel of Compagnie-des-Filles-de-la-Charity, inaugurated in 1815, is a pilgrimage site. A few years later, in 1830, a novice named Catherine Labouré said to have had several apparitions, including Christ and the Virgin. She asserted that the Virgin had asked her to have a miraculous medal struck, which was done. In 1832, during a terrible cholera epidemic that caused more than 20,000 deaths, the sisters distributed the first medals: Miracles soon followed with healing of all kinds! This is why the building bears the nickname of Notre-Dame-de-la-Médaille-Miraculeuse chapel. Note that the chapel, expanded in 1849 and completely redesigned in 1930, houses a statue of Saint Vincent-de-Paul which contains the heart of the latter.
