The Little Chapel is situated in the Les Vauxbelets valley, Saint Andrew, Guernsey.[2][3] It was created in July 1914, by Brother Déodat.[4] He planned to create a miniature version of the grotto and basilica at Lourdes, the Rosary Basilica.[5]

The chapel has been described as "probably the biggest tourist attraction in Guernsey",[6] and "intricate".[7]
