Walking by Sainte Anne Bay, you will discover an area rich in history and spirituality. Well before the construction of Sainte-Anne des Rochers Chapel in 1636, the area was home to several religious monuments, including a dolmen in the Neolithic period and a stele (carved stone slab) in Celtic times.
