La Chapelle-Saint-Maurice, commune in Haute-Savoie, France
La Chapelle-Saint-Maurice is a small village in the hills of Haute-Savoie with simple houses built from local stone and wood. The narrow streets wind through the settlement, which sits surrounded by green fields and forests that roll toward the mountains.
The first church was founded in 1375 by monks, around which the village developed as an agricultural community. The present church of Saint-Maurice was built in the 1800s and has remained a central landmark since then.
The village has long been a farming community where residents maintain close ties to the land and seasonal rhythms. You can see locals tending gardens and fields, keeping alive practices that have shaped daily life for generations.
The village is easy to reach and serves as a good starting point for hikes to nearby trails like Roc des Bœufs. Wear sturdy shoes if you plan to explore the surrounding countryside, and note that local shops are small and limited.
François de Sales visited the village in the early 1600s to offer spiritual guidance to the community. This connection to an important religious figure became part of the local memory and adds a layer to the village's spiritual history.
