Discover Ronchamp and the Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut

Every year, the Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut attracts visitors from all over the world. Designed by architect Le Corbusier, it overlooks the Bourlémont hillside, offering panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this emblematic work of art blends spirituality, art and modernity in an exceptional natural setting.

Around the site, don’t miss the Monastère Sainte-Claire and the Portail du Pèlerin, designed by architect Renzo Piano, which harmoniously complete the ensemble. A well-maintained footpath leads through forests, meadows and viewpoints.

You can visit the hill at your own pace, with explanatory panels, areas for contemplation and architecture in dialogue with the landscape. For those with a passion for culture, an interpretation area provides a better understanding of the history of the site, Le Corbusier’s vision and the architectural challenges of the 20th century.

Throughout the year, temporary exhibitions, concerts and spiritual events enrich the experience. This unique site, both a place of meditation and an open-air work of art, is a must-see when visiting the region.
