Dauphiné Route Napoléon

On the Route Napoléon, between Gap and Grenoble, is the little township of Corps (pop. 1,000). From here a side trip can be made to the pilgrimage church of Notre-Dame de la Salette, situated at an altitude of 1,170m/3,840ft amid grand Alpine scenery. The church was built after an apparition of the Virgin to two children on September 19, 1851. Every summer something like 100,000 pilgrims make their way to Notre-Dame de la Salette.
