The Chapel of Sainte-Marguerite

This chapel dates back to the 15th century and was renovated in 1987. It is dedicated to Sainte-Marguerite d´Antioche, who protects the hamlet of Chavière and the surrounding alpine pastures. The third century saint freed herself from a dragon, the Demon himself, by piercing it from the inside with the aid of a cross and thus naturally became the holy protector… of pregnant women! She was then invoked when women were giving birth in the alpine pastures.
