An easy walk to discover the sculptures of the Plaine-Joux Plateau, carved from monolithic blocks of marble limestone and arranged in a semicircle 100 meters apart from each others. During the first Plaine-Joux Plateau Sculpture Symposium in July 2012, four sculptors traveled to the plateau to work on their masterpieces, chiseling, polishing, and bringing them to life... in monolithic blocks of marble limestone placed 100 meters apart from each others. Roger Dunoyer's project: He began his work on the first block, whose meteorite shape inevitably suggested to him the birth of the world. A shooting star and its light cross the surface of the block, ending up at the center of the earth to put down a human fetus. Janpol's project: Since it was discovered X million years ago in the Baré cave, Janpol worked on a rock with a cave cat skull where it lived during the Paleolithic era, and on the second rock, a few engravings (in relief) that lead us to this more recent ancestor, the Homo sapiens. Isabelle Milleret's project: Her work was to highlight the symbolism of a place like Plaine-Joux : to create a crossroads in the form of a star or intersection of lines. Eventually indicating the north-south and east-west axes (compass rose) or the location of the four surrounding municipalities (Bogève, Mégevette, Onnion, Villard). Yann Narzabal's project: His work consists of expressing the sedentarization and settlement of humans from ancient times to the present day : the era when humans acquired the knowledge and techniques to build their homes as we know them today in the traditional architecture of our region. Carving a block of stone into a work of art, a phenomenal feat accomplished in a single day by these four sculptors ! Walkthrough available by clicking on the printer icon.

With its triple nave, it accommodated the thousand or so parishioners of the time. The church is under the patronage of Saint Nicolas and Saint Théodule. Built in a style that blends pseudo-Romanesque and Italian Renaissance, it is topped by a bulbous bell tower. Beneath the church, a crypt (the Fernex family burial chapel) houses a 17th-century fresco, of which unfortunately almost nothing remains. Between 1975 and 1992, the church was completely restored.

Mont Vouan is a small mountain range with an altitude of 978 metres. Located between Les Brasses and Les Voirons, it is part of the Chablais Pre-Alps. Its distinctive feature lies in the siliceous nature of its soil, which has enabled nearly 600 plant species (some of them rare) to grow there. Its fauna is equally diverse: more than 200 species have been recorded, including mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians and insects. Historically, the site is famous for its millstones, a place where millstones were extracted for use in grinding rye, barley and other grains into flour. A one-tonne millstone could produce several hundred kilos of flour every day. It should be remembered that our ancestors ate more than a kilo of bread a day ! In the past, a millstone was worth the price of a house, so places were highly sought after. While not everyone could afford to cut a millstone, finding a place to cut it was even more difficult! The extraction of a millstone took place as follows: The millstone was marked out on the wall and a groove was dug around it. Fir wedges were driven into the groove and regularly wetted. The swelling of the wood detached the millstone by breaking the stone. The millstone extraction site at Mont Vouan was extremely important, as it was one of the largest in south-eastern France, producing more than 200,000 millstones from 72 quarries. At the foot of the Vachat millstones quarry lies the Pierre aux Morts or ‘Gouille aux Morts’ marsh, which serves as a reminder of how difficult it was to cut millstones, as the stonecutters often took great risks. The pond was named after the fall of two stonecutters while they were working on a Sunday (the Lord's Day !). Mount Vouan was also crossed by a smugglers' path. The smugglers brought wheat from the Pont Morand mill to Geneva and returned with alcohol, tobacco and other goods. Today, you can still see large round holes nearly 2 metres high in the rock where the millstones were extracted. They are part of the ancient Meulières à Vachat and Grand'Gueule sites, which have been classified as a ‘Historic Monument’ since 2009 and a ‘Sensitive Natural Area’ since 2017. PAYSALP offers tours for groups throughout the year. Information and reservations: www.paysalp.fr

Habère Lullin Church is home to two styles from two separate times. The 13th century choir was expanded in the Sardinian style in 1840. You can also see the fresco of the Annunciation dating back to the 15th century.

The château dates back to the 15th century. The Marquis de Lullin built the Gothic castle which has retained its style despite construction work up to the 17th century. In December 1943, the château saw a tragic event. A group of young people organised a ball for Christmas Eve. The Germans received information of this and, believing them to be members of the Resistance, attacked the church. The château was set on fire and all the men were shot. Only the women were spared. Now, all that's left are a few walls and a monument in memory of the young men.

The Lac de la Crossetaz is a charming spot for a picnic, fishing or just rest and relaxation in the great outdoors. The footpath is behind the church in Habère-Lullin. It's a ten minute slightly downhill walk. Composting toilets on the footpath.
