The chapel in Bionnay is found on the road to Piémont through the Bonhomme Pass. It is a very important passageway in the valley.
Today, the interior of the chapel is rather sparse. Its pillars and groined vaults are quaintly highlighted by murals. The elegant alter painting, by Decret
de Bonneville, depicts The Virgin Annunciate.
