Eglise Des Fins

The church of Saint-Joseph-des-Fins
The Basilica of St Joseph of Annecy was blessed for July 4, 1937, on the eve of the Second World War by Bishop Michael Florent from Villerabel, bishop of the diocese of Annecy

The initiator of the project was the priest Folliet Amedee, who thanks to his tenacity has led the project. The church was completed in 1941 by architect Paul Bellot Dom Benedictine, chunky style of the region, customized by this great innovator of contemporary sacred art, the eldest nearly 30 years Novarina. The interior of the building, erected in the rank of minor basilica by Pope Paul VI in 1964, outlawed almost all curves in favor of vaulting arches broken. The windows are Charlin. The construction of the Saint-Joseph-des-Fins accompanies the growth of the city of Annecy to the north, following the course of urbanization and airy yet conventional.

Les Gorges du Fier

The Fier is one of the most important rivers in the Haute-Savoie region.

Just 10 km from Annecy, the river has carved out one of the most magnificent examples of erosion by running water,
the Gorges du Fier, considered to be one of the natural wonders of the Alps.

Les Passerelles The gorges have been accessible to the public since 1869 via a footbridge 252 m long, suspended 25 m above the river.

Venture deep into the giant gorge with the River Fier flowing at its base, and stop to admire the boulders stacked up high in all their shapes and forms. The play of light and shadow makes extraordinary faces appear along the length of the rock face...

Discover a multitude of Giants’ Kettles carved out by the river over thousands of years.

Halfway along the footbridge, a measuring scale on the rock face indicates the water levels reached in times of flood.
