ERMITAGE DE BERMONT

Situated in the commune of Greux, in the Vosges Department, three kilometres north of Jehanne d'Arc's birthplace, the chapel and hermitage of Bermont have watched over the Meuse valley for more than a thousand years. Jehanne liked to go there on pilgrimage, on Saturdays and often during the week, to offer candles and flowers to Our Lady, to meditate and pray there. The foundation of this poor sanctuary is lost in the mists of time, in the shadow of St. Maurice and St. Martin. A humble land of the Church, a discreet witness to the history of France since Hugues Capet, Bermont has nevertheless survived the trials of the centuries. Today, the association Notre Dame de Bermont - Saint Jehanne d'Arc, a simple link in a long chain, is working to restore this modest sanctuary, while respecting its history and its eremitical tradition, but also to help people discover its endearing history.
