Morillon and hamlets

Constructed in 1529 and renovated in 1995. A pretty piéta of unknown origin decorates the interior.Through the act of 26 December 1511, the Reverend Pugin, curate of Samoëns, authorised Laurent Ros of Les Miaux to construct a chapel in his village in the name of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows, compassion, St. Michael and St. Claude. It was not constructed until 1529. It was renovated in 1995. A pretty piéta of unknown origin decorates the interior. In the past the chapel was visited by residents of the village who were numerous and industrious thanks to the bountifulness of Les Champs, Les Miaux and Le Pont due to the presence of channels (allowing land owners to share water resources). A château (now the Foyer Ste Bernadette) which was home to the Denarie (Deneriaz) noble family.

Built in its current location around 1750, the chapel was originally located at the site known as "Les Côtes".Built in its current location around 1750, the chapel was originally located at the site known as "Les Côtes". On 13 February 1688 a resident of this village, François Deneriaz, decided to construct a chapel near his home and dedicate it to Our Lady of Mount Carmel in thanks for the help and assistance he received for his intercession; he endowed it with a capital of 100 florins. On moving from Le Châtelard he brought his belongings, family... and chapel! Why did the family abandon this tradition? We don't know what motivated the abandonment of this private wish; whatever the reason, since the start of the XIXth century, the chapel has been dedicated to St. Symphorian, renowned for his healing gifts. In 1845 Curate Bastard informed Monsignor Rendu that people would go to the chapel every 22 August to make an offering of wheat and money. The pilgrimage by parishioners and those from neighbouring villages was a chance to pray for a good harvest and to recover from rheumatism.
