Gravel vault
The vault Gravel was built in 1941 to commemorate tercentenary arrival of Joseph-Massed Gravel, the ancestor of the Gravel families, in 1641. It is located on the Royale avenue, with Castle-Richer, very close to the Huot way opposite number 8666, of the Royale avenue.
This small vault was devoted to Our-Lady-in-the Assomption. It is a vault of procession where the faithful ones gathered to request and sing canticles with the Virgin. The abbot Pierre Gravel, born on September 24th, 1899 with Castle-Richer and deceased with Quebec on August 29th, 1977, was the project superintendent and the heart of all the religious ceremonies which took place during 36 years there. The Gravel abbot joined together the faithful ones to the Festival of the Saint-Jean-Baptist and at the time of the festival of Our-Lady-in-the Assomption (August 15th).
Many Québécois tourists and American visit this small vault each year.
