The Chapel of Saint-Barthélémy

"This chapel stands on 15th century foundations. It was restored in 1997 in partnership with Vanoise National Park. Saint-Barthélémy helps to fight against ""diabolical"" diseases and the plague. He promotes wound healing despite the fact that he was skinned alive! The reconstruction of the chapel in 1633 is certainly the result of a plague epidemic in Maurienne, where it took 224 people to Termignon. The peddlers, who carried goods from the East, were potential vectors, which explains this call for protection in the mountains."
