The journey from Lyon to La Salette
Allow about 3 hours for 220 km: motorway to Grenoble, then the Route Napoléon to Corps, and finally around fifteen kilometres of climbing up to the shrine. A break can be planned on request. From Saint-Exupéry airport, your chauffeur meets you at the exit and sets off straight away.
The shrine and its history
On 19 September 1846, the Virgin Mary appeared to two young shepherds, Mélanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud, on the mountain of La Salette. A basilica was built there in the 19th century, surrounded by alpine pastures. Today the shrine welcomes pilgrims and retreatants in a high-mountain setting, with accommodation on site.
