The Baroque churches
 The 3 villages - Avrieux, Villarodin and Bourget - are the proud owners of numerous churches and chapels built by their inhabitants in days of old. These shrines are a tribute to their faith, but also a way in which to express their conception of beauty and art. Do not forget that you are in the land of Baroque art where polychrome, gilt, light and contrast play together to form fleeting, breath - taking images and eternal works of art. Come and visit these magical treasures!

The Chapels of our village
The chapels were protecting lands, people and harvests against the misdeeds of illness, climate, even the mountain dangers. Built at various times, in often particular circumstances having marked the history of the country, these vaults were generally attended at the time of various processions, most of the time in the honor of their guards.
