The chapel of the Rosière nestles into the side of the wood and looks out over agricultural land to the Alps in the distance. The sound of cowbells from the farm across the small road provides the perfect soundtrack to the idyllic setting of the chapel.
It is an unimposing but picturesque building with very pretty stained-glass windows.
Unfortunately, the chapel was closed and we could only catch a glimpse of the simple interior and colourful stained glass windows. To get inside you need to time it right. It is open every Monday from 17.30 to 18.30 and every last Friday of the month at 18.00, or by appointment.
Our visit took place in the perfection of Spring: the woods still shining with wonderful sunlight peeping through new emerald leaves, brightly coloured local flowers welcoming us along the pathways and bird song filling the air.
But whatever the time, we highly recommend a stroll to the Chappelle de la Rosière, a peaceful walk in the woodland, then a cup of coffee and a cake at Gimel’s friendly cafe and bakery.
