Worth seeing church

Notre-Dame-du-Haut pilgrimage chapel, 1950 The Notre-Dame-du-Haut chapel in Ronchamp is the icon of Christian sacred architecture that revolutionized church building in the 20th century. The chapel is in a dominant position on a hill at the Burgundian Gate near Belfort. Apart from its rather bare summit, this hill is wooded, as are the neighboring hills. Le Corbusier took into account the trees, the views into the distance and the horizon line in his design. The basic features of the design for the chapel were created in just a few days: an asymmetrical building, curved walls, vaulted by a roof whose shape is reminiscent of the shell of a crab. The asymmetry broke with the traditional idea of a cruciform church floor plan. A unified church space was created, without a side or transept, which is nevertheless oriented towards the east.

In addition to the chapel, Le Corbusier built two smaller buildings, the guard's house and the pilgrim's house, which contains bedrooms and a kitchen. A step pyramid, also built from ruined stones and dedicated to the victims of the fighting in 1944, completes the architectural ensemble.

Small collar, easy and pleasant to assemble.

At the top of the summit!

Closes at 6pm so arrive on time.

Very nice to drive.

René Pottier (Moret-sur-Loing, June 5, 1879 - Levallois-Perret, January 25, 1907) is considered the first climber in the history of the Tour de France. He turned professional in 1904; at that time he already had a victory in Paris-Roubaix and an attack on the world hour record to his name. Pottier first participated in the Tour de France in 1905 (see Tour de France 1905). That year, in the third Tour, serious climbs were included in the course for the first time. Pottier attacked in the second stage on the highest mountain of that year, the Ballon d'Alsace (1247 m). He finished second in the stage and leader in the general classification. However, due to a collision with a fan in which he sprained his ankle, he had to abandon the next stage.
