Description
We are a long way from monastic austerity, though. Here, they welcome the inquisitive of all ilks, for creative visits with a variety of activities and events. With a series of festivals, exhibitions, orienteering courses, games throughout the year, there's plenty to do in Chartreuse de Sainte-Croix. If your thing is walks and big rocks, we've got just what you need: a great one-hour walk out to the Roches de Marlin megalithic site. But the Jarez region also has another trick up its sleeve over in La Terrasse-sur-Dorlay. The town is home to one of the most unusual museums in the Loire: the Maison des Tresses et Lacets. This magical place is taking care to preserve the know-how of a whole region, which made a huge contribution to fashion until the middle of the 20th century with its braiding machines. So tie up your laces and set off for the Jarez, a region full of surprises!
