The moment you step onto the wide carriageway, the relaxing atmosphere
of this historical place washes over you. Stroll along at a light, easy pace,
enjoying the light breeze and the freshness of the trail as you approach to
the building with all its secrets. You're there. Before going in to meet Our
Lady of Charmaix, why not cross the porch and go over the solid stone bridge?
Cross the Grand Vallon torrent and see the chapel and its amazing construction
from another angle. It looks like it's hanging off the cliff. Back inside, look
for Our Lady of Charmaix; admire the decorations, the paintings, and this
entirely black and white statue of a Madonna and child.
A real breath of fresh air and history. If you have a dog with you, take extra
care on the access path.
