Saint-André de Bourg-Argental church

Highlight • Other

The Saint-André church was built in 844 initially. It was the subject of successive additions until 1840, when it was classified as a historical monument. Its portal is both imposing and graceful. If you are lucky, you can listen to his magnificent organ behind the altar.

Railway Workers' Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This former shelter, located along the Via Fluvia, is enjoying a new lease of life thanks to the determination of the local heritage conservation association.

It makes a lovely rest area; there's even a beautiful waterfall right across the street, and easy access to the river.
