The Immaculate Conception chapel was built between 1855 and 1857 and was officially dedicated on 4 October 1857. The inhabitants built this chapel for the glory of Mary Immaculate. You can see it from the town centre, overlooking Sallanches.

Magnificent gorges that emerge from the meeting of the Torrent de Coeur and the Torrent de Fours. In the summer you can bathe there to refresh yourself. Accessible only from above currently, on the way down you will discover the famous Marian Grotto of Lévaud.

The Grotte Mariale de Lévaud is a religious monument dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the form of a replica of the cave in Lourdes. It was built after the Second World War because Sallanches was spared from bombings.
