About
Exhibitions on local heritage: "Histoire et Chemins du pays de Lus" and "La forêt Lussoise hier aujourd'hui et demain".
Discover the richness and importance of the Lussoise forest, both past and present: its physiognomy, variations, forms of exploitation, techniques and tools, and of course its future (children's area).
Follow the paths of today to take a trip back in time in the footsteps of :
- The Carthusian monks of Durbon: The neighboring commune of Saint-Julien-en-Beauchêne was home to one of the first Carthusian abbeys, which dominated the Lussois region from the 12th century until the French Revolution of 1789.
- The Knights Templar: This rival order to the Carthusians, established at the Templar house of Toussièrette, regulated trade along this ancient communication route to finance its presence in the Holy Land.
- Rural architecture: The houses reveal the way of life of the mountain populations of yesteryear.
- Les Glacières: Located on the southern edge of the commune, these natural freezers provided winter work for Lussois farmers at the end of the 19th century.
- In the footsteps of Giono: The landscape inspired the novels of this famous 20th-century writer, who spent time in the neighboring commune of Lalley.
- Summer camps: Up to 9 camps have enlivened the summer life of Lus and fueled many childhood memories, two of which are still active today.
