Description

An idea for a walk to discover the rich heritage in the grandiose setting of the Mont Blanc Country. Join the baroque churches and chapels of Saint Gervais and Saint Nicolas de Véroce along this path without difficulty.
The baroque buildings bear witness to the Catholic Counter-Reformation led by Bishop Saint François de Sales against Protestantism between the 17th and 18th centuries. Savoy, then independent, carries this renewal of Catholicism by the construction of places of worship with baroque architecture, characterized by the presence of light, colors and movements, The churches of Saint Gervais and Saint Nicolas de Véroce are magnificent illustrations. During your walk, you will have the opportunity to admire the Oratory of Brettey, the Chapels of the Gollet, the Combe, the Plans, the Oratory of Crozat, the Chapel of Chattrix and the Church of Saint Nicholas of Verona. You can also contemplate the Mont Blanc massif, which is revealed during the itinerary.
