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.

Hiking

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.
