Interpretation Center of the Contraband in Mountain where it is good to go back in time in the history of Châtel.

At the Old Customs House, the Centre d'Interprétation de la Contrebande en Montagne which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2022, we go back in time in the history of Châtel. When the border village was not yet a resort with lifts linking the two countries and when smugglers were cunning in crossing the summits without being caught by the "gabelous" (police and customs officers). An original and surprising look at the village and its strategic place, as well as its inhabitants. Animations during the summer: investigation games, secret operations...

Nous avons participé à la visite commentée d'environ 1h. L'historique de la douane et de la contrebande dans la montagne est bien racontée. Intéressant et accessible aux enfants.

Une belle exposition qui retrace l'histoire de la contrebande entre la Suisse et la France ainsi que l'histoire de la douane. Nous avions prit la visite guidée, très enrichissante, passionnée et pas mal d'interaction ! Mise en scène des "impôts" avec des objets pour la compréhension des plus jeunes, c'est extra :)
Des chaises pliables, légères sont mises à disposition lors des visites.
Une visite enrichissante à faire en famille !!
