Posafol dovecote, 16th century

It was erected in the 15th century. Originally, it was just a modest oratory (half the size of the current chapel). At that time, Philip of Savoy fell from his horse near the site where the chapel was later built. His wife, Margaret of Bourbon, fearing for his life, vowed to build an oratory and a church in Brou if he survived. He recovered, but sadly, his wife died in 1483. It was therefore his second wife, Claudine de Brosse, also known as Claudine de Bretagne Penthièvre, who had the chapel built on the spot where her husband had his accident. Initially, it was a small oratory: a ribbed vault without any openings. It was Margaret of Austria, daughter-in-law of Margaret of Savoy, who fulfilled the second vow. In 1867, the chapel was enlarged and looted. A statue of the mother and child, which had been placed in a niche on the facade, was replaced by a painting. https://www.saintejulie.fr/chapelle-notre-dame-de-lorette/

cycle path very busy in good weather

Very pretty medieval village, reward after a small hill coming from the Green Way of Albaria

The ponds are beautiful. The wide, stony trail is a little less fun.

Magical... With open restaurant on the edge of the pond

Nice little café by the water 👍perfect for a coffee or snack break

Very pleasant pass to go up and down, accessible from many places, the Toqués du Col de Portes club even invites you to join them only if you manage to climb the pass 2 to 6 times in a row!
