Pere Delavay's botanical Garden

Take a 19th-century botanist and priest from Les Gets, add three missions to China to search for a sacred plant, plus a few hazardous voyages, and the result is the Delavay Gardens. This unique collection of plants is an authentic showcase for our living heritage.

Notre Dame de Lourdes Chapel

This small chapel, isolated in the Mouilles hamlet, was built in 1871 by the reverend priest Joseph Marie Delavay, to ask to the Virgin of the Mouilles to protect and cure his brother from the plague, the priest Jean-Marie Delavay.
