I have not found any trace of the Sulaire chapel mentioned on the back of the canvas. On the other hand, it is indeed the chapel of Notre-Dame des Croix de Loctudy, a place that the painter painted in another painting of similar size in 1910. An old postcard that I was able to find on the internet also presents a breton pardon at the Notre-Dame des Croix chapel with the beautiful tree in the foreground.
