Mountain Pass

On the pilgrimage route you reach Montarcher, a small, pleasant village in the arrondissement of Montbrison, located high up but with fewer than 100 inhabitants. The partly Romanesque, partly Gothic village church - the latter recognizable, among other things, by the pointed arch vault typical of this architectural style - is dedicated to the Mother of God, Mary.

Montarcher church

Highlight • Historical Site

The church consists of a Romanesque choir and a nave built in the 12th century, flanked by two 15th century chapels. The beam of glory, which separates the choir from the nave, dates from the 15th or 16th century. It tells about the creation of the world. The porch and the bell tower date from the 16th or 17th century.
