Presentation

From the sawmill of Villapeyron to the chapel of Trés-les-Pierres, take the time to stroll with your family on the path along the banks of the Dranse. Awaken your senses for an unusual discovery of the hamlet of Essert.
The imposing Villapeyron sawmill will show you the stages of woodworking, an essential resource in the mountains. Guided by the flow of water, you will then go back in time to understand the evolution of the village resort. Finally, once you've arrived in the shade of the Très-les-Pierres chapel, a well-earned snack awaits you before you take the bus home!
OpeningsFrom 09/07 to 20/08/2025, every Wednesday between 2 pm and 4 pm.
