| Every village has a story, a heritage witness of the past and bearer of the future. In the Embrunais, the Savinois, the Caturige land, the heritage takes it's roots in the landscape, and the inhabitants share it gladly with their guests. From the Boscodon abbey , an architectural masterpiece of the XIIth century, to the Embrun Cathedral, the most important monument of the French Alps (XIIth), without forgetting the many hamlet chaples and classified churches, the religious monuments are rooted in the history of the area.
