サン＝ジョワール＝アン＝ヴァルデーンの天然記念物・トップ7

自転車で通り過ぎました。この場所が気になり、次回は立ち寄ってみたいと思いました。

小さくてきれいな古い橋です。

A little "kick in the pants" to get out! Cool and in the shade!

The coolness in these gorges is much appreciated when it's close to a heatwave on the plains! And the wild atmosphere of the small road through these gorges (before reaching a busy road for a beautiful descent) is good (a little "kick in the ass" to get out!).

Here we encounter three stone cubes stacked on top of each other, each smaller than the one below it. The gray cubes each have a white field in the center of their sides, with a cross carved into it, painted blue and standing out against the gray/white background. This construction forms the basis for the present small sacred monument: above it rises a radiant gold figure of the Madonna. From this prominent position, the Virgin Mary – venerated in France almost always under the title "Notre-Dame" ("Our Lady") – gazes far into the country, and has done so for more than 120 years. @Rainer N. has already explained the date and reason for its construction in his short post.

Beautiful bridge over the gorge

Very beautiful natural lake of glacial origin in the Chartreuse. The tour of the lake is about 17 kilometers through forest and fields, and allows you to admire the landscape from all angles.

As you travel to the Grenant stream above La Bridoire, you will discover a hidden stream that winds through a lush and tranquil forest in the heart of the Chartreuse mountains. The area around the stream is teeming with wildlife and you will often see birds and other woodland creatures. As you listen to the soothing sound of flowing water, let your mind escape into nature.
