Queige - "Les Pointières" trail

Born of a desire to share their collective memory, the people of Queige have created this trail to tell the story of their lives in bygone days, of peasants who wore out their "galoches" and sweated for a living.

Life in the mountains was far from easy in the past. Take a walk along the Pointières trail, created by the Queigerains themselves, and you'll discover, between meadows and gardens, the vestiges of a bygone era, such as the thatch at Baëque, a barn where you can learn about thatching techniques, or the Musée du Roselais, a former remue chalet where you can admire objects and tools from everyday life in the past:

Do you know the adze, the skeleton key, the crankshaft?
Can you tell the difference between a file and a rasp?
And the various planer blades capable of carving delicate moldings in a simple plank, or the shoemaker's anvil on which the wooden soles of galoshes were nailed.

Finally, there's the Veuillettes garden, where five families lived for part of the year in the midst of some 20 hectares of land. The panorama over the Albertville valley is also quite remarkable!
