12 chapels restored and furnished
testify to 5000 years of history.
Each one is devoted to a particular
period or theme to illustrate the
discovery of our villages.
 The idea
is simple : a big key in your hand
and tokens in your pocket will be
your magical passport. The " Chemins
de l’Histoire" are a
cultural circuit that you should
do at your own pace, on foot, snowshoes
or nordic skis.
