 The Sardinian Resto-ration of 1815 : This period was to shape the final layout of the town. The wall was breached to provide a passageway connecting the church to the subsequently named "Place de la République" with its harmonious arcades of limestone pillars which remind one of the cities of Cluses, Sallanches, Annecy, Chambéry. |

Some examples of this neo-classical style are also to be found in the Town Hall built in 1842,  and the Indoor market-place (La Grenette), dating from 1841, with its beautiful pine timberwork set on 4 angle pillars and 12 columns. The renovation of the Town Hall in 1992 has added a new cobbled square. Actually, visitors cannot resist the urge to linger here and admire this beautiful floral setting, and taking home a photographic souvenir. |
