Les chapelles de Valloire

Each hamlet had its own chapel, where, in May, we used to meet to honour the Virgin Mary, where we would celebrate the Saint's day, where the bell would ring the death knells...

In their present state, the chapels date from the 17th century and later.

The 17 chapels:

Notre-Dame de la Vie in Les Trois Croix

St Claude in Le Col

Ste Marguerite in Les Granges

St Benoît in Les Choseaux-ville

St Blaise in l'Archaz

Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel in Geneuil

St Pierre sur le Rocher St Pierre

Notre-Dame des neiges in Bonnenuit

St Grat in Bonnenuit

Ste Agathe in la Rivine

St Claude in Les Verneys

St Joseph in la Ruaz

St Bernard in la Borgé

Ste Madeleine in Poingt-Ravier

St Thècle in Les Chaudannes (next to the campsite)

St Jacques in Les Villards

Notre-Dame du Bon Secours in Tigny

The chapels can only be viewed from the outside, with the exception of the Notre Dame de Bon Secours chapel in Tigny, where the doors are occasionally opened by the association who maintain it for a view of the interior.
