The Chapel of La Madeleine, located in Saint-Lô in the French department of Manche, is a historical site that has been transformed into a World War II memorial. This chapel is a testament to the city's rich history and its resilience during the war. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the 29th and 35th Infantry Divisions of the United States who liberated Saint-Lô in 1944.
