The Our Lady of Liesse Chapel (Chapelle Notre Dame de Liesse) is a former chapel situated in the former commune of Berneval-le-Grand about 2.7 km northwest of Petit-Caux town hall. The chapel is at the Rue du Commando Numéro 3 and Av. du Captain Portheous junction and is located about 220 meters west of the Av. Marie Alexis roundabout. Originally constructed in the 12th century, the chapel has undergone numerous restorations over the centuries due to damage from wars, including its near-destruction during the French Revolution. Today, the chapel has been rebuilt and holds the title of a minor basilica. It continues to serve as a significant pilgrimage destination.
