About the Notre-Dame de Rabas chapel, the legend says: "Overwhelming heat! A troop of hunters and a pack of dogs pursue a deer at bay in the woods of Saint-Hubert. They get lost. People and beasts suffer from intense thirst. Very touched to see his people and his animals suffer, Charlemagne then made a vow to build a chapel to the Virgin if she came to his aid. Suddenly, under the feet of his horse springs a fresh and clear source. This is how the first stones of the chapel were laid during the 9th century.
