Cultural Visit to a traditional valley house La Chapelle-d'Abondance

About

On Sunday 28 July 2024 from 14:00:00 in 15:30:00
La Chapelle-d'Abondance (74360)
Animals not allowed

The Abondance Valley has more than 240 traditional houses worthy of historic interest, built between 1568 and 1949. Although many differences exist between them, they all had the same function: to shelter the men, the animals and the provisions for the feed during the long winter months.

Whilst today many of these farms have been adapted to meet the current lifestyle, some remain generally in their original state.

We invite you to discover one of them.
