Description by the author

Bure has its promenade des chapelles, but because there is more to see, this is a variant here that passes 20 crosses, chapels and the church of Bure.

A longer variant also exists: Along 25 crosses, chapels and the church of Bure and Grupont near Rochefort .

The walk consists of 2 loops. Start at the church of Bure. The interior is definitely worth a visit!

We start the ascent of the Côte du Croix Renkin and soon pass 2 old pumps (or fountains) and arrive at the Chapel ND de La Salette. We pass a Wrong Dear Lord where we turn to return to the village. A beautiful sight shows the beauty of the region.

Back in the center we pass some places that remind us of the bloody battle in Bure during the Von Rundstedt offensive. Passing a few chapels, we arrive at the Croix Gloriette , which marks the beginning of the cavalry of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. Along a stately avenue lined with trees, the seven chapels, each representing one of the seven sorrows, follow each other in rapid succession until we arrive at the chapel of Our Lady of Haurt.

This small oratory from the 18th century also has its legend that a shepherd or a monk found a statue of Mary and placed it in the church. But every time this happens it is miraculously returned to its place on the hill of Haurt, making it a place of pilgrimage .

We return along the old road to the chapel, passing the old castle of Bure which has now become the college d'Alzon. This college also played an important role in the Second World War.

 

Be sure to also consult the information about the sights once you are there . They explain what you get to see!
