Tips
This forest was formerly called forest of the frasse (in reference to the ash trees, in old French, which populate it).
It was after the battle between the Savoyards and the army of Italian mercenaries of François 1st that the forest took its current name.This very extensive and dense forest is a privileged refuge for the local fauna.translated by
