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

The Village and Bridge of Sallenches, Savoy, 1860
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by the renowned French photographer Jean Adolphe Beauce. This image transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Sallenches, nestled in the Savoy region of the Alps. The village, situated a short distance from the pass, boasts a population of over 1500 inhabitants and lies approximately twenty-eight miles from Annecy. The photograph showcases the quaint little bridge, known as the Pont des Chevres, which offers a stunning view of the village. The bridge, with its arches and intricate stonework, stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of the past. The village, with its rustic houses and winding streets, exudes a sense of tranquility and simplicity. Sallenches has a rich history, having been destroyed by fire three times - in 1519, 1768, and 1840. Yet, like the mythical phoenix, the village has risen from the ashes each time, demonstrating remarkable resilience and vitality. The inhabitants of Sallenches lead a frugal and quiet life, their needs being few, and their means of existence assured through trade in cotton, cattle, and mules. The nearby Gorge of Sallenches is a breathtaking pass, one of those situated near the Alpine chain, which would form the new frontier of France in the event of the neutrality of the two districts at Chablais and Faucigny being discontinued. This photograph, taken in 1860, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and resilience of the Savoy region and its people.
