Château Montmayeur et son jardin médiévalMaquette et écran sur une maison de village

The original building was a13th century tower protected by an enclosure. The tower was renovated in the 15th century and became the dwelling place of the Montmayeur lords.
Not to be missed:
On 3 levels, models, drawings and sound archives reveal the secrets of traditional valley construction, from village houses to alpine chalets.

The cellar tells the story of wine in the Middle Ages: the vineyards of Savoy (a hypocras tasting takes you back in time) and the tools used to work the land.
