THE CHAPEL OF THE SALETTE
Go there and contact
On the Montot coast, 2.5 km from the village was erected in 1857 Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette… This beautiful chapel, naive, simple, was built in the thanks of a miracle that cured Catherine Faivre in 1849 with a paralysis that she suffered for almost 20 years. After being bathed in the Salette waters, she recovered her legs. In addition, the village suffered in 1854 a cholera epidemic (which decimated the region of Chaumont and Langres) and the priest of Villars, Father Carticket, promised the Holy Virgin to dedicate a chapel if the village was spared. There were only a few victims. The village, persuaded to be under the sacred protection of the Virgin, then built its chapel. To see for the frame, the legend and the simple emotion released by the place or for the pilgrimage that is organized there.
