Chapelle Sainte-Anne

Chapelle Sainte-Anne stands in Menton as part of the city’s religious and architectural heritage. It dates from the early twentieth century.

Pilgrims encounter this chapel while crossing Menton on the GR 653A, also called the Chemin de Menton. The route carries journeys towards Rome and Santiago de Compostela.

Menton’s chapel network reflects its position near the Franco-Italian border and along older routes such as the Via Aurelia. These chapels offered places for worship and rest.

Chapelle Sainte-Anne belongs to a tradition shaped by travellers, pilgrims, and local families. Some later became funerary chapels or exhibition spaces.

Across Menton, their architecture records changing periods, decorative traditions, and connections with important points near the old town or sea. Their settings place these buildings along journeys through Menton.

The chapel links Menton’s local story with religious journeys across France, Spain, and Italy. It also represents the city’s enduring network of chapels and oratories.

Through Chapelle Sainte-Anne, Menton’s built heritage connects religious practice, pilgrimage routes, and regional architecture. The site gives this historic network a presence within the city.
