Nature and Heritage:
In 1860, Anastasie Favre, a resident of Mouilles, had a statue of the Virgin Mary once worshipped in Nifflon. There was a fire in the village and she put the statue opposite the flames and they turned away as if repelled by a mysterious hand. A chapel was built in tribute in 1875. The chapel was blessed on October 3rd 1877 and its festival is held on July 15th every year.
Route details:
Set off from Bellevaux past Les Contamines (oratory), Le Champ du Noyer (oratory) and along the path up to Jambaz where you cross the B road. Take the public highway through the village then head towards Mouilles (uphill from La Chaux). You will come out onto a plateau where you can see the first houses in the village of Mouilles and the chapel, a little to your left. Go up to Mouilles then before you reach the hamlet, take the path on the right to La Côte. Obviously you can go for a look around Mouilles to see the chapel. Once you reach La Côte, go on the little road on the right to "Sur les Monts". This little-used hairpin road will take you to the village via "Le Petit Mont".
