Basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette, basilica located in Isère, in France
The Basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette is a pilgrimage church located in the French Alps on a mountainside in the village of La Salette-Fallavaux. The building features sturdy stone construction with a prominent dome and sits at high elevation surrounded by alpine ridges and steep slopes.
The site originates from a reported religious vision that appeared to two young shepherds on the mountain in 1846. The sanctuary built afterward became an important pilgrimage destination and was elevated to basilica status in 1879.
The location sits at high elevation and is typically fully accessible only during warmer months, as snow and road conditions can be challenging in winter. Visitors should come with sturdy footwear and be prepared for alpine weather conditions.
The two young shepherds to whom the vision is attributed were children from poor families grazing cattle in the area. Their accounts were recognized as credible after thorough investigation by the Church and have shaped the site ever since.
