This basilica built in the 20th century, which dominates the city of Annecy, is accessible to disabled persons.

On the heights of Annecy, this basilica built in the 20th century watches over the city. Its most representative element is the spire of the elevated bell tower-porch, reaching 72 m. The apparent austerity of the exterior contrasts with a richly decorated interior. This basilica is the resting place of Saint Francis de Sales. In 1610, the man who studied in Annecy commissioned Jeanne de Chantal to found the Visitation order with him in order to help the poor.

Très beau monument
Comme dans le titre, pas déçu du monument, seul point noir son accès en montée qui en été devient pénible sinon lieu agréable à voir.

Basilique et point de vue.
Un endroit intéressant à découvrir sur les hauteurs de la vieille ville d'Annecy pour l'architecture de la basilique et le point de vue.

De part sa situation géographique, cette basilique vaut le détour. Son architecture (bien conservée) est aussi surprenante.

Really beautiful place of worship, beautiful place. The basilica is built in height with views of the city and the lake. The sound of the carillon is beautiful.

Je n'ai pu découvrir ce monument remarquable que la nuit mais j'espère bien la visiter un jour. en tous cas, son illumination met en valeur l'immense porche et le calme que l'on y rencontre est remarquable. Elle semble surveiller de haut la vieille ville, pas très éloignée.
