This small oratory, or place of worship, is located along the little road that leads from the hamlet of les Montets to the town of Vallorcine. You can find it on the north side of the bridge over the L'Eau Noire river. The oratory itself is a small white structure with a statue of Jesus Christ on the cross behind a little grate. 


Our trail that follows the Chemin des Diligences in the Vallorcine Valley passes by this little oratory. You will notice many wooden missionary crosses along this trail too signifying the Christian heritage of the region.
