This venerable chapel catches the eye of the visitor by its exceptional site, its character and treasures of art which it shelters. By tackling(approaching) the north wall, we notice that we have not to make in a building as well homogeneous as it would have been possible to think of it of access(manner). The defensive origin of the place, previous(former) in 1300, is certified by the presence of the bases of a tower. The portal(gate) of the western pine nut(cog) brings the proof of a first resumption and confirms that there was a religious building before the XVth century. At the end of this century, important transformations were brought to the chapel, then at the beginning of the XVIth century with the construction of a new chorus(choir). The «mistress(teacher) glazes» was most probably got back on the old(former) monument, the chorus(choir) of which arrived at the level of the chancel current. The inside is characterised by a rectangular nave with a south shoulder. The vaulted vault was formerly painted. Big pillars adorned with capitals(big tops) in the simple toruses delimit the nave of the shoulder. At the end of the shoulder, a stone altar topped with a retable of the XVIIIth century when leans one of the heads - of work of the Breton popular art of the XVIth century: «Saint Yves enters the rich man and the poor man». The pulpit to be preached hexagonal wooden polychrome of the XVIIth century is listed(classified). The mistress(teacher) of the place, Notre-Dame of Port(Bearing)-White, statue in limestone of the XVIth century, the group of Saints-Anne, the Madonna and Child (second half of the XIVth century), several polychrome statues of the XVIth century establish(constitute) a remarkable set(group).
