TO KNOW :
The Oratoire des Clapières is the oldest oratory in Val d'Arly. During the revolution, it was hidden under a heap of wood and branches in order to escape the order of destruction of the small oratories. Note that "Clapières" designates stony ground, which manifests itself in the construction material of the oratory.
