Culture and History
The Chapelle de Gys was founded in 1653 and rebuilt in 1864.
From 2009 to 2012, the Chapelle de Gys was extensively renovated and fitted with new works of art, including a mosaic by Claude MARIN and modern stained-glass windows by Joëlle VULLIEZ-MATRINGE.
The Halle du Biot still stands in the village centre today and is a reminder of the former importance of fairs and markets to the valley.
