Discovering the Land of art and history

The “Ville et Pays d’art et d’histoire” label is awarded by the Ministry of Culture to local authorities that are committed to promoting their architecture and heritage. The Vallée d’Abondance was awarded the Pays d’art et d’histoire label in 2003. The extension of the label to all the communes in the Evian-Vallée d’Abondance area was approved in August 2019.
