What we loved:
Chapel is beautiful, fascinating history

What we didn't love:
Nothing for tots except gift shop

Loretto Chapel is a reminder of the French contribution to what was mostly a Spanish colony -- its a beautiful but completely different looking style. No longer used as a chapel, its a great venue for weddings or renewals of vows, and an easy tourist attraction. The big draw, of course, is the spiral staircase built without nails by a carpenter who appeared when needed and disappeared afterwards. Very interesting gift shop, too.
