    Tips

    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.


    The contemporary sculpture park

    Free access, the large park around the Charterhouse of Mélan hosts a dozen monumental works. Each of the artists has endeavored to bear witness to the strong and moving history of the place or its environment.
