La Salette in the French Alps is an important Marian sanctuary, even if this - rather inconspicuous - place is far from the level of popularity of other European pilgrimage sites in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary - such as Lourdes in the French Pyrenees, Fatima in Portugal or Altötting in Germany ( Bavaria) – has obtained. As a result, it is much quieter here for pilgrims, because significantly fewer visitors visit this sanctuary.
