This relaxing walk takes you back into the past. Set off to merrily discover one of the most curious and emblematic chapels in the region. Snuggled up against a rock, this historical gem has been patiently awaiting you for at least 600 years.

The moment you step onto the wide carriageway, the relaxing atmosphere

of this historical place washes over you. Stroll along at a light, easy pace,

enjoying the light breeze and the freshness of the trail as you approach to

the building with all its secrets. You're there. Before going in to meet Our

Lady of Charmaix, why not cross the porch and go over the solid stone bridge?

Cross the Grand Vallon torrent and see the chapel and its amazing construction

from another angle. It looks like it's hanging off the cliff. Back inside, look

for Our Lady of Charmaix; admire the decorations, the paintings, and this

entirely black and white statue of a Madonna and child.

A real breath of fresh air and history. If you have a dog with you, take extra

care on the access path.
