The Church of Saint-Christophe de Le Pin The Church of Saint-Christophe de Le Pin was built in the 18th century (after 1759). Entrance is via a bell tower with a porch, on which a recently restored, painted sundial from 1832 contrasts beautifully with the clock above. The four pillars of the entrance portal support an entablature. The single-aisled nave opens onto a transept with a semicircularly vaulted chancel; the walls are partly made of rammed earth. Inside, there are four paintings in the transept and chancel. They depict a Pietà, the Assumption of the Virgin, the Presentation of the Child, and the Release of Saint Peter from Herod's Prison by an Angel. The last three paintings appear to be by the same artist.

The original Marian shrine "La Salette," which is referred to in this patronal feast, is located in the French Alps (Grenoble district) and is an important Marian shrine, even if it has not achieved the same level of fame as other pilgrimage sites honoring the Mother of God, such as Lourdes in the French Pyrenees or Fatima in Portugal.

This memorial cross made of light wood—dedicated to the memory of a deceased monk—is one of many that bikers encounter repeatedly along the way. They are all symbols of remembrance of the crucifixion, but also of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. + "With us on earth, His memory exists, but in the kingdom of heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, journeying toward our fatherland." (Bernard of Clairvaux) Some passersby have placed stones at the foot of the small sacred monument.
