    Hiking

    The chapel of La Monse has loomed over the hillside for over four centuries, consisting of retaining walls, a shingle roof and a beautiful turret. The bench invites you to linger. The chapel was placed under the protection of Francis of Assisi, an Italian saint known for his love of nature and commitment to non-violence.
