Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church
The church built in the roman lombard style is placed under the protection of Our Lady of the Assumption. It is surrounded by a graveyard with beautiful wooden crosses that are typical of La Grave: the triangle represents the Holy Trinity and the circle represents the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The cemetery is a temporary resting place. When the grave is removed, the heart-shaped brass plate that you see on each cross is placed on a wood panel on the wall of the church.
