Tips

  • Steph Lightfoot

    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.

  • 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.
