    In the beautiful setting of the Giffre Valley, the Charterhouse of Mélan is a place steeped in history, combining medieval sobriety and contemporary art. Exhibitions are presented in its church with its refined architecture, backed by a magnificent cloister. Around the building, with free access, contemporary sculptures testify, for some, to the multiple lives of the Charterhouse, which was a women's monastery, religious college and then Departmental orphanage.
    The Department's team of cultural mediators offers many guided tours and fun activities from April to October.
