The Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours chapel, also known as the Bonne-Dame chapel, is a 19th-century Catholic religious building located in Fontainebleau, France. It pays homage to a legend according to which in of November 1661, regiment captain d’Auberon, an officer of Prince Louis II of Bourbon (known as the Grand Condé), was on his way to Fontainebleau to join the court. Suddenly horse bolted and one of his legs got caught in the stirrup. The rider was knocked over and dragged over rocks. When in view of the danger and through a particular devotion, he invoked the Virgin Mary, his horse suddenly stopped and the rider was not injured.
By local and religious tradition, its location is notably a place of pilgrimage. The chapel has been listed as a historical monument since 1926.
