The Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is a Roman Catholic chapel on Rue du Bac in Paris associated with visions reported by Sister Catherine Labouré in 1830. It is an active place of devotion centered on the Miraculous Medal and related devotional objects.

The chapel contains devotional shrines and displays connected to the 19th-century apparitions and has been a continuous site of pilgrimage and prayer since those events. It is administered by a religious community and remains open for worship and private devotion.

The chapel is located on Rue du Bac in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, within the urban fabric of central Paris and close to other central landmarks and transport links.

• Pilgrimage: The main chapel on Rue du Bac receives many Catholic pilgrims who come to view the place associated with Marian apparitions of 1830 and to venerate the Miraculous Medal.

The chapel (Chapelle Notre‑Dame de la Médaille Miraculeuse) is on Rue du Bac in Paris’s 7th arrondissement. Take Paris Métro Line 12 to Rue du Bac station - the chapel is about a 3-5 minute walk from the station exit. It is in central Paris and easy to reach by taxi or car from other central arrondissements.

• Visit early on weekday mornings (before the main pilgrimage crowds arrive) or late afternoon; Sundays and feast days are noticeably busier.
• Use the main entrance on Rue du Bac to access the chapel directly - it's the principal public entry and places you immediately in the sanctuary area.
• Don't rush past the side chapels: many visitors miss the displays of ex‑votos and the site's miraculous‑medal artifacts tucked beside the main altar, so allow a few quiet minutes to see them.
