FÊTE DE NOTRE-DAME DE LA GORGE
Go there and contact
Every year, on August 15, St. Mary's Day, in the sumptuous and baroque church of Our Lady of the Throat, we pay homage to the Blessed Virgin. This Catholic tradition is a day of meditation with mass and procession (from the morning) and, for the visitor, a unique visit to this sanctuary rebuilt in the 17th century, which has been a place of procession and a Way of the Cross since 1840. To discover, about fifteen oratories (the fifteen mysteries of the rosary) going up the road to the charming church, very cheerful and colourful, including the main altar and the altarpiece in baroque style. It has been a place of pilgrimage since the Middle Ages. In the evening, from 9:30 pm, free access, a sound and light show recounting the epic of the village. Fairy! We witness the spectacular burning of the Sainte Chapelle, singular, hung on the side of the rock face, two hundred meters upstream from the church. In 2019, the theme is the 40th anniversary of the Contamines-Montjoie Nature Reserve.
