Municipal oven of Villar d'Arène visit
Villar d'Arène has preserved one of its most important ancestral traditions, that of 'Pain Boulli', made from rye flour and water.
Guided tours are organized by the association du Four et du Moulin (Oven and Mill Association) to give an insight into life in the past.
Agenda
Municipal oven of Villar d'Arène visit
Discover the tradition of 'pô boulli' with a visit to Villar d'Arène's communal oven. To set the scene, watch the 1958 film 'Alpine Village'. As you enter the kiln, you'll arrive at the kiln level. The next room is the leavening room, with kneading troughs and shelves for storing loaves and pots. Upstairs is paradise, where the still-warm loaves are stored.
In La Grave, 2 ovens are also in operation: one in the hamlet of Ventelon and the other at Le Chazelet.
