If you cross the cycle gallery of the Chat tunnel between Bourdeau and Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu, you will have a bit of occupation. 79 frescoes now decorate the two concrete walls over a kilometer and a half. They are inspired by the heritage and history of Savoy. You will find famous personalities (Alphonse de Lamartine, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Mandrin, Charlotte de Savoie), or symbolic (the chimney sweep, the peddler, the Italian worker), but also emblematic sites (the lake of Mont-Cenis , the Roselend dam, the castle of the Dukes of Savoy), as well as the gastronomic heritage (Savoy cake, raclette, ...).
