Sustainable tourism

The Clos Parchet Ecomuseum transmits the memory of a traditional way of life that was respectful of its environment, where nothing was wasted and where families were self-sufficient in terms of food (animal husbandry, cultivation of cereals and vegetable gardens) and materials (manufacture of all necessary objects from wood, repair of objects, absence of consumerism)

Host portrait

Opened in 1994 by Simone and Pierre Déchavassine, the ecomuseum invites you to go back in time... With the Guides du Patrimoine Savoie Mont Blanc (GPSMB), discover the history and life of the Haut-Giffre in the Clos Parchet farmhouse dating from 1815, in harmony with nature and the seasons.
