Between 1880 and 1886 by architect Georges Lafont, the chapel is enlarged in 1903 by two side naves. It was abandoned in the construction of a new church, Notre-Dame, in 1931. The chapel was abandoned for several years and was sold in 1981 by the parish to the city of La Baule, which renovated it in 1989. The "interior" retains its original decoration only the gallery and la voûte. Contemporary stained glass windows. Wooden vaults and charpente, married to the walls and stone pillars, regularly host exhibitions and concerts. It has become one of the city's cultural centres. It is an ideal place to discover the "treasures" of our country and elsewhere. The cultural area of Sainte-Anne Chapel is a place of culture par excellence. Throughout the year, the cultural events organized there are numerous and varied. Some are recurrent as "seaside writers", the autumn and spring salons of the La Baule Literary and Artistic Society, the exhibitions of the Culture and Faith Association, the Music Summer chamber music Festival, and of course the exhibition of La Baule.
