The small or rural heritage in the villages and hamlets of our countryside bears witness to a know-how that is sometimes several centuries old.

The small or rural heritage in the villages and hamlets of our countryside bears witness to a know-how that is sometimes several centuries old.

In Molières, we find a good number of fountains, washing places (“lavoirs”), stone cabins, dovecots (“pigeonniers”), mills and other small wonders, witnesses of the ingenuity and daily life of our ancestors.
We invite you to walk along our paths and discover them.

If you are interested in this theme, do not hesitate to contact us, we can organise a discovery walk of the small heritage.
