Notre-Dame-des-Vernettes
“Here, in the peaks, mountain pastures and religious buildings, everything calls you to contemplation and thought. A good idea to get away from the turmoil of daily life. Naturalists and photographers at heart will not be disappointed either”. Benjamin Plumecocq, Vanoise National Park ranger
