The Forgeassoud Chapel
Until 1631, the hamlets of Forgeassoud were part of Thônes; the inhabitants being too far from Thônes asked the Bishop for their attachment to Saint Jean de Sixt.
It is in memory of this annexation to Saint Jean de Sixt that the Curé Cuillery and the inhabitants had built this chapel.
Placed under the name of St Claude and St Bernard de Menthon : Saint Claude high place of pilgrimage at that time and Saint Bernard de Menthon, the Saint of the travelers.
