Not far from Mens is a place which has made much more noise in the world no other than La Salette, the scene of the latest Roman "miracle." La Salette is one of the side-valleys of the large valley of the Drac, which joins the Romanche a few miles above Grenoble.
The movement has also extended into the neighbouring communes, helped by the zeal of the new converts, one of whom is known in the neighbourhood as "Père la Bible," and it is possible that before long it may even extend to La Salette itself. The route from Vizille up the valley of the Romanche continues hemmed in by rugged mountains, in some places almost overhanging the river.
More waterfalls the Sau de la Pucelle, which falls from a height of some two hundred and fifty feet, resembling the Staubbach besides rivulets without number, running down the mountain-sides like silver threads; until we arrive at La Grave, a village about five thousand feet above the sea-level, directly opposite the grand glaciers of Tabuchet, Pacave, and Vallon, which almost overhang the Romanche, descending from the steep slopes of the gigantic Aiguille du Midi, the highest mountain in the French Alps, being over 13,200 feet above the level of the sea.
