Entre-Deux-Eaux

Of the 97 constructions in the alpine meadows of Entre-Deux-Eaux, this chalet has an atypical pillar with a round section built with lime, which served as a support for the ridge beam. The “Sarde map” (land registry of the kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia) contained a record of this building as far back as 1728. Accounts tell us that the owning family was so rich “that it placed golden bells on its hens”. The mention of a salt store in the letters of the Stewardship of Savoy, suggest that this remarkable building could be this construction, although no evidence consolidates this version.
