The lovely yellow little Chapelle St Pierre was built in the 14th century and was restored and re-decorated in 1956 by the artist Jean Cocteau. If you want to visit, you will find that it is open from 10am – noon and again from 4pm – 7pm daily. There is an admission charge, but I am not sure how much, as we only got back late and had no time to investigate the inside of the church

One of the first things that I noticed was the Citadel, which was built by the Duke of Savoy in 1560. Today it houses the Town hall, an auditorium, the Goetz-Boumeester museum and the Volti museum. The walls of the Citadel have very nicely been arranged with footpaths and gardens for the visitors to enjoy.

Take the little train which stops at the top of the mountain and allows you to get off and take incredible pictures of the village below. The view is breathtaking.

It is one of the best things to do. Just set off and explore the place by foot and you will be amazed at what you can find hidden away from the normal tourist attraction things.
