Facim Foundation

The Facim foundation offers a creative way to learn about local heritage. All year long we offer guided tour for heritage and history enthusiasts: discover and learn about the forts and churches in the area, there is something for everyone!

Description

It establishes a dialogue between this region and contemporary creators, writers and artists. To this end, the Foundation organizes the "Rencontres littéraires en Savoie Mont Blanc", a writer's residency, and offers several cultural discovery trails and publications.
In addition, with its local partners, it runs the "Pays d'art et d'histoire des Hautes vallées de Savoie", a national label awarded by the Ministry of Culture to the Tarentaise, Maurienne, Beaufortain and Val d'Arly valleys.
