Chapelle Notre-Dame de Villethiou

Saint-Amand-Longpré

According to tradition, a statuette of the Virgin and Child was found lying in the spring of La Coudre; moved to neighbouring churches, it is said to have returned on its own, several times, to its original place. A workman on the site, exasperated by repeated collapses in the night, is said to have thrown his hammer into the air so that the Virgin herself might point out the place to build: the tool fell where the present chapel, rebuilt in 1842–1843, was finally erected.
