    Help

    We manage an association passionate about heritage that takes care of the restoration and promotion of a church listed as a historical monument in the Jura.


    This year, we will celebrate the centenary of the statue of the Virgin installed on the rock of the viewpoint. On this occasion, our association is organizing festivities:
    - Gregorian chant concert,
    - Opening of the exhibition,
    - On the day of the patronal feast of Saint-Laurent: mass, procession, and picnic on the viewpoint.

    Your help will be valuable to us for the organization. You will be hosted with us in the village's old bistro, at the foot of the viewpoint, in a room with a garden view, and you will share our meals and family life. We are looking for a candidate interested in heritage, speaking enough French to welcome visitors. If you have skills in art history, drawing, or painting, it would be an additional asset.
