Heritage

A Czech artist, Frantisek Balek, who loved the site and our village, created this beautiful, sober monument on the remains of the alpine chapel dedicated to St Jacques, which was destroyed during the French Revolution. He used a monolith extracted from the torrent.

Anne's chapel, perched on the rock at the entrance to the hamlet, glorifies creation with the words inscribed on its steeple: ‘Snows and flowers, bless the Lord’.

St Bernard's chapel in Menthon was converted into a bread oven at the beginning of the 20th century. It has been restored to reflect its two respective functions, and was inaugurated with a delightful bread festival.

Chapel of St. Nicholas, on the edge of the ancient Roman road (Via Clara). It fell into disrepair after the Second World War and was restored in 2012. The chapel features a beautiful painting by Nicolas Oudéart, the great painter of Tarentaise of the 17th S.

Chapel of Notre Dame de Bonconseil and Saint Germain. A humble spiritual note in the middle of a resort. It is elegantly presented and has benefited from a very fine interior restoration.

Built in the 18th century to replace the old church, which was destroyed by the torrent in 1732. Rich Baroque and Rocaille altarpiece from the 18th century (listed). Superb wrought iron gate.

Dating from the 17th century, it was repaired in the 18th and 19th centuries.

La chapelle St Grat restaurée est en harmonie avec le reste du village bien rénové. L'intérieur a gardé son beau retable simple et ancien.

St Michel Archange chapel dating from the 17th century, located in the hamlet of Planay-Dessus. A bench awaits you as you gaze at Mont Pourri, the Turia and the Aiguille Rouge.

The Chapelle Notre Dame des Neiges was built in the early 17th century on the remains of an old watchtower, hence its unusual square shape. Note the serpentine stone surrounds and voussoirs.

L'originalité de cette belle chapelle construite en 1604 est due au narthex qui la précède et au four à pain attenant. Dédiée à Saint Maurice, patron de la Savoie, premier martyr en terre de Savoie.
