The Mont-Cenis Pyramid Museum preserves the memory of this idyllic place steeped in history, which has welcomed many famous figures through its doors. We’ll tell you all about the transportation system, the villages, and the dam.

Description

The Mont Cenis Pyramid, built in 1967, houses the memory of this idyllic spot. It was built to commemorate Bonaparte's Egyptian campaign. It is one of the highest museums in Europe, located at an altitude of 2,100 m, and covers many aspects of the history of this historic route, as well as local life: famous people, transport, villages and the dam that marked the history of this site.
