The Gorge of Sallenches, Savoy, 1860. Creator: Jean Adolphe Beauce

The Gorge of Sallenches, Savoy, 1860. In a mountainous country like Savoy the gorges and passes are, of course, very frequent; they, as well as the glaciers, form a series of picturesque attractions which stop the traveller on his way to Switzerland, and before he has yet reached the more imposing scenery in the neighbourhood of Mont Blanc. The Gorge of Sallenches...is one of those passes situated near the Alpine chain that will form the new frontier of France in the event of the neutrality of the two districts at Chablais and Faucigny being discontinued...By telegram we learn that their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of the French, in their progress through the new departments of Savoy and Nice, reached Sallenches on Saturday last, and that they were enthusiastically greeted by numerous inhabitants of the mountains scattered in groups along the road'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
