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.

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.

Small village in North Isère

Very peaceful forest path, sheltered by a plant tunnel

A cross at the junction of several paths commemorating the death of a monk.

With its views and its picnic table, this place is an ideal place to pass. The statue was erected in 1903 to protect the vines against the phylloxera virus which devastated so many winegrowers.

A beautiful, fairly uncrowded and shady single track. On its soft ground you will enjoy riding.
