One minute in the golfe du Morbihan - E8 - The Chapel of the Boedic Island

The Stone Sentinel of Boëdic Island

Standing tall at the northern tip of Boëdic Island, a small rectangular chapel watches over the Gulf of Morbihan. Its history, shrouded in mystery, blends with the murmurs of the waves and the song of the wind. Some say it was born from an old domestic building, transformed into a place of worship in 1923. Others claim its presence as early as the end of the 18th century, on the Cassini map.

In the past, it was the rallying point for the inhabitants of the Langle peninsula. They flocked there during pardons and regattas, or to attend Sunday mass, thus avoiding the long detour to the church in the village. The Sainte-Anne de Bellevue chapel did not yet exist, and the chapel on Boëdic Island offered a precious haven of spirituality.

Today, it rests, peaceful and silent, on the property of a private individual. But its soul remains active, serving as a beacon for sailors who venture into the Conleau pass. Like a stone lighthouse, it guides ships towards the Vannes River, like an unchanging witness to the history of the Gulf.
