Guided tour of the Museum of costumes, arts and popular traditions
Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne
In the prestigious setting of the former bishop's palace, l'ancien Évêché, our guide will take you on a tour of Maurienne costumes and the way of life of yesteryear. A discovery full of color and history...
Description
The dresses of the Arvan and Villards valleys, in particular, are among the most original in the Alps. In the former bishop's chapel, you'll find a recreation of a typical Maurienne interior. One room features archaeological collections, another is dedicated to religious art, and a third to the history of the Savoy dynasty.
