Saint-Pierre is a nice 12th-century church, that over the centuries got probably altered a couple of times. These two small carvings ( a hare? and a lamb?) are integrated in the outside wall. This is probably not the place, they were once made for.

Saint-Pierre is a nice 12th-century church with a bell-gable, that is typical in this area. The village has a population of only about 150, so the car park next to the church is impressing. Probably tourists. Like me..

It was no surprise to find this statue near the 12th century-church in Salette. Seen is "Notre-Dame de La Salette". A Marian apparition was reported by two kids, Maximin Giraud and Mélanie Calvat, at La Salette (near Grenoble) in 1846. Lourdes, the world famous place of pilgrimage is "younger", as the apparition there was reported in 1858.
