Basilique de la Visitation
Standing as a tribute to an ancient monastery, Basilique de la Visitation holds the remains of two saints. Two bronze sarcophagi celebrate the life of François de Sales, a well-loved bishop, and Jeanne de Chantal. The church was built by renowned architect Alfred-Henri Recoura from 1909 to 1930. Pick up an explanatory leaflet, available in multiple languages, for information on the stained glass windows. Stop by the well-stocked gift shop for souvenirs. Note that if you're coming on foot, the walk up can be a bit strenuous. It couldn't be easier to arrange your visit to Basilique de la Visitation and many more Annecy attractions: make an itinerary online using Inspirock's Annecy travel route planner.

With its tall gray granite pillars, it gives a look of majesty. And it’s also situated on top of a hill which gives an amazing view specially to the Alpes. The basilica has also the relics of the saint who created the order of visitation

Wonderful "Church" with a great view over Annecy. The way up is a little bit stressful, but worth it
