Discovering Notre Dame de la Gorge A walk for everyone, starting from the Espace Nordique. An easy, flat itinerary will take you on a journey of discovery through Baroque music, past the Lac du Pontet and the Falaise de la Duchère, to the lovely church of Notre-Dame de la Gorge. "An ancient pilgrimage site, this curious Baroque oratory is covered in Renaissance frescoes and gilding, in the purest tradition of religious Savoy..." writes Roger Frison Roche in Mont-Blanc aux sept vallées. This site marks the end of the road and the departure point for mountain trails and paths. In the heart of a protected natural environment, Les Contamines harmoniously combines tourism and tradition: Baroque churches nestled in the heart of the village, traditional architecture... The musicians of La Guilde des Mercenaires will enliven this itinerary with musical interludes in preparation for the concert. Cécile Demargne Cécile is a mountain leader and heritage guide, and will tell us all about the history of these places. Adrien Mabire After a classical training in modern trumpet, his encounter with Hervé Andéol led him to discover ancient wind instruments, including the Renaissance and Baroque recorder, the cornet à bouquin and the natural trumpet.
