Cultural heritage of the 21st century, history of the future

Along with the opening of artisan workshops next to la Cure, as part of the European Heritage Days, our association proposed an exhibition from 19 September to 11 October 2015, on the contemporary heritage of the village, such as the school (2005 ), the extension of the town hall (2013) and workshops next to la Cure (2015).
On the vertical banner pictures they could see the different construction phases and changes of these buildings.

Stormy history (and nevertheless truthful) relations between St-Jean and St-Maurice

Stormy history (and nevertheless truthful) relations between St-Jean and St-Maurice

The exhibition took place from Saturday 3rd to Sunday 25th November 2012 in La Cure.
Although its territory is occupied since the Neanderthal, the commune, in its present form, only dates from 2007!
The exhibition traces over two centuries, sometimes tumultuous relations between the two villages that constituted the village: Saint-Jean and Saint-Maurice.

We counted 172 visitors.
The theme of the exhibition will be one of our next works.
