Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Bonneval-sur-Arc, Catholic church in Bonneval-sur-Arc, France

The Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption is a Catholic church in the historic center of Bonneval-sur-Arc in Savoie with a bell tower topped by a pointed stone spire. The building sits within the village layout of narrow streets and traditional architecture that surround it.

A chapel dedicated to the Assumption already stood in the village, but residents had to go to Bessans for services, and snowfalls isolated the village. In 1532 the Bishop of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, Mgr Gorrevod de Challand, made Bonneval-sur-Arc an independent parish, and the chapel became its place of worship. The building was enlarged in 1646 with the addition of a bell tower ending in a stone spire, and it was consecrated as a church on 18 May 1661. It was entirely modified in 1869 and consecrated again in 1871.

The church is dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, and the village became an independent parish in 1532 under Bishop Gorrevod de Challand of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. Before that, residents crossed to Bessans for services, but deep snow could isolate Bonneval-sur-Arc. The wooden sign by the low stone wall reads "BONNEVAL SUR ARC".

The building sits in the village center and is easy to reach on foot, especially while walking through the narrow streets of the village. Visitors can enter the interior year-round and explore at their own pace without a guide.

Until 1532 the villagers had to cross to Bessans for services at the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, and deep snow could cut the village off; that year the bishop of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, Mgr Gorrevod de Challand, made Bonneval a separate parish and the chapel became its place of worship.
