The chapel of Monflieres
This chapel is the second most important place of pilgrimage of the Somme. It was built around 1160 after the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in an elm to a shepherd and it was recognized as miraculous and extended three times in the course of years.
In 1778 Queen Marie-Antoinette gave to the Virgin of Monflières a gold brocade dress to thank Her for the birth of her daughter Marie-Charlotte. Pilgrims that cross the threshold of this lovely chapel can admire the many Ex-voto covering the walls.
