Origin and history

The Notre-Dame-des-Grâces chapel of Bonneval-sur-Arc is a religious monument located in the municipality of Bonneval-sur-Arc, Savoie (Department 73). This place of worship, inscribed as a Historical Monument, is located in an alpine setting marked by local history and Christian tradition. Its official registration by decree of 1 December 1980 bears witness to its heritage importance for the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The chapel belongs to the municipality of Bonneval-sur-Arc, as indicated by the Merimée base, and its precise address is 270 Route de l'Arc. Although available sources (Monumentum, internal data) do not specify its exact origin or period of construction, its protected status underscores its role in the cultural and religious landscape of the Haute-Maurienne. Localization, noted as fair (5/10), suggests moderate accessibility in this mountain territory.

Chapels of this type, often linked to local traditions or pilgrimages, served as gathering points for Alpine communities. In regions such as Savoy, these buildings reflected both popular devotion and the adaptation of religious practices to geographical constraints. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and spiritual organization of the Alpine valleys throughout the centuries.
