The Chapel of Our Lady of Pipet

18.00 kadar acik sehir manzarasi gormek icin mukemmel bir konum.

Uma capela bem simples, mas bonita. Entrada gratuita.

Très beau site ,belle chapelle colorée, belvédère sur la ville en surplomb de l'amphithéâtre antique ,le lit du Rhône,les collines du pilât, très contemplatif. Belle efigie de la madone, route qui mène jusqu'au parvis de la chapelle et petit parking.

J'ai aimé la découvrir en arrivant au belvédère mais je n'ai pas poussé la porte. Ce que j'ai apprécié le plus c'est la tour carrée très haute sur laquelle se trouve cette immense sculpture de la Vierge à l'enfant qui surplombe le paysage.

Not very interesting

Beautiful and charming chapel perched on top Bèlvédere Pipet hill overlooking Vienne. It's quite modestly decorated inside but it's sense of history, calmness and a "otherworldly presence" makes this quite a unique experience for me. Most notably the brick tower carrying The Virgin Mary with the child with a stone statue of Volvic. This chapel is dedicated to the Apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Dauphine. Inside may be rather tamed in decor but pause at the stained-glass windows as they reveal stories of the history of Christianity in Vienne. It's quite an effort to get up to this chapel being on top of the Bèlvédere Pipet hilltop but the rewards are priceless! You get to spend moments of silence in the Chapel then enjoy the most spectacular views of Vienne all in one visit. I don't believe there's public transportation that comes this high up but highly recommend finding Chemin de Amoureux Track as it takes up directly starting from Montée Saint-Marcel (google maps this track). There's public lavatory and really suitable for all ages. Oh, you can drive up here but only limited car spaces. Best time to visit is weekend during winter months as not too crowded.

Absolutely stunning. Wonderful stained glass. Loved it.
