About Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal
The Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is a 19th-century Catholic chapel at 140 Rue du Bac in the 7th arrondissement, hidden behind an arched gateway within the motherhouse of the Daughters of Charity. In 1830, a young novice named Catherine Labouré reported three Marian apparitions here, leading to the creation of the Miraculous Medal — over one billion copies were distributed within her lifetime. Today the chapel draws roughly 2 million visitors per year, making it the second most visited pilgrimage site in France after Lourdes.

Catherine Labouré kept her identity as the visionary secret for 46 years. Not a single person among her fellow sisters or superiors knew she had received the apparitions — only her confessor, Father Jean-Marie Aladel, was aware. Her role was confirmed only after her death on December 31, 1876.
