Basilique de la Visitation

The Basilique de la Visitation is a catholic church in Annecy built in the first half of the 20th century on a hill at the foot of the Semnoz, a prominent location that makes it visible from the whole city. The church houses the tombs of Saint François de Sales and Sainte Jeanne de Chantal.
