    The original Church of Notre Dame de la Gorge was built in the 13th century. Painted in pink, this pretty building marked the entrance to the high mountain. The travelers of old prayed here before leaving the valley that their journey would be safe.

      If you also like to visit churches and other buildings in addition to nature here and there, you have the opportunity to do so.
      Nearby (about 150 meters) is still a summary board of the TMB. Here you can get an overview again.

        What a lovely place to come across on the TMB.

          Situated in the heart of the Mont Blanc Massif, Notre-Dame de la Gorge is a charming chapel that stands as a testament to faith and reverence amidst the towering peaks. Its quaint architecture and peaceful surroundings create a harmonious blend of human devotion and the grandeur of nature. ⛪🏞️

            The church was rebuilt in 1699. From the 13th century to the early 19th century, Notre Dame de la Gorge was the local parish church for the residents of the valley. It was also a spiritual sanctuary where the cult of Mary lived. Every year, since time immemorial, the pilgrimage on August 15th consumes the faithful in droves.

              The date of the annual pilgrimage to this place of worship dedicated to the Mother of God Mary under the title “NOTRE-DAME” (“Our Lady”), which is widespread in the French-speaking world, August 15th, indicates the specific patronage:
              On this day, the (Catholic) Church celebrates the feast of the Assumption of Mary (“de-l'Assomption”), i.e. the physical assumption of the Mother of God into heaven.

                  a very nice hike, be careful at the Col du Joly in bad weather, sudden change in weather, fog arrives and rain very quickly, thought about taking the weather forecast before leaving
