Situated 30 minutes from La-Roche-sur-Yon and 35 minutes from the Puy du Fou, the Sanctuaire de la Salette is a 19th-century cultural site depicting the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to the children of La Salette.
A singular testimony to parish life at the end of the 19th century, this site, built by Abbé Hillairet, is surprising in terms of both the materials used and the architectural programme developed.
The zigzag pathways feature some remarkable trees: Himalayan cedars, laricio pines, exotic plants such as Yucca and
palms...
Open-air site, free access. Picnic tables available, including one accessible for the disabled.
Free guided tours lasting 1h-1h30 every Tuesday at 3pm from mid-July to the end of August.
