Through a guided tour, discover the history of the construction of the chapel and the mysterious stories that connect the Virgin to her oak...

In 1153, Saint Bernard would have come to pray at the foot of the oak. It is reported that in the wood called «Garenne des Comtes», a young shepherd would have found a statue of the Virgin in the cavity of an oak. Several times brought back by the shepherd in his cottage, then placed in the church of Bar-sur Seine… it returns to its oak.
