Today the only things that remain intact are the old traditional farmhouses and the former summer pasture chalets. Some traditional activities have lived on up until now, notably cheese making (Comté, Bleu de Gex) and the work of cutting precious stones (Lapidary). However, there are plenty of traces of the past. These are important aids for finding out about the eventful history of the region .

We can expand on this subject using five themes :

1. Architecture of traditional farmhouses and life in the past
2. Pastoral life in the mountains from the very beginning to the present day
3. Setting up cheese dairies locally known as "Fruitières" and their development
4. Lapidary's work
5. Traces of the past (Spaniards' Path, the boundary stones, Chézery bbey and its influence in the area)

These themes can be developed in two ways:

• A visit
• A theme-based guided hike - Discovering the heritage
