Description
The chapel of Notre-Dame de la Garde
In 1214 - year of the battle of Bouvines and of the birth of Saint Louis � a priest of Marseilles whose first name was Pierre erected a small sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary upon the rocky triangle forming the top of a 161 metre-high hill facing the town of Marseille, which was very small at the time. As the hill was called �La Garde�, the sanctuary quite naturally took the name �Our Lady of La Garde� So at its origin the chapel had neither apparition nor miracle; it was simply born of a priest�s devotion.
