Top left: view of the chapel and cemetery near Bellevue Cove; bottom left: close up of chapel interior; top right: side view of cemetery; bottom right: close up of marker, showing a young girl who died when only 11 years old (1769 to 1780.) A group of Acadians fled to this desolate site to escape the deportations, but without shelter, many of them died from the harsh conditions. Today, Acadians from all over the world come here to pay their respects to those who died.
