Visit the archeology museum in Val-Cenis, and discover the everyday objects on display through a guided tour.
Perched in the hamlet of Sollières-Sardières, the Musée d'Archéologie et de Préhistoire (grotte des Balmes) takes you back in time to around 5600 years ago, to tell the story of how the first farmers-breeders of the Neolithic period lived in the high mountains. Pottery, handicrafts, furniture, reconstructed dwellings and everyday objects testify to the strong bond between these people and their natural environment. A must-see cultural stopover to understand life in the past in the Maurienne, far from the summits but as close as possible to its origins.

Merci pour votre accueil !
Nous avons appris des choses passionnantes sur la découverte archéologique de la région.
Je suis revenue le lendemain avec ma plus jeune fille. C'était une visite libre mais il a répondu très gentiment à ses questions et a su adapter son discours.
Mille mercis à vous pour transmettre aussi bien votre passion
