The Village and Bridge of Sallenches, Savoy, 1860. Creator: Jean Adolphe Beauce
The Village and Bridge of Sallenches, Savoy, 1860. The small village of Sallenches...is situated at a short distance from the pass. It is twenty-eight miles from Annecy, and contains upwards of 1500 inhabitants. There is a fine view from the pretty little bridge called the Pont des Chevres. This Savoyard village has been destroyed three times by fire - in 1519, 1768, and in 1840; but, phoenix-like, it has re-sprung up each time with fresh vigour, and is at present prosperous, doing a respectable trade in cottons, cattle, mules, &c. The inhabitants lead a frugal and quiet life; as their wants are few, their means of existence are the more easily assured... The [nearby] 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'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
