Culture
The Abbaye de Boscodon is a remarkable 12th-century monument and was the most important house of the Chalaisian monastic order in the region. Admission to the abbey church and the Chapelle Saint-Firmin is free.
Those who choose Crots as a holiday destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
In the village of Crots, the Église Saint-Laurent has a bell tower with Lombard influences. The Château de Picomtal is also one of the area’s defining historic sites: guided tours present its thousand-year history, remarkable architecture and richly decorated interiors. The complex includes a 12th-century keep and a square castle structure built in the 14th century with four towers.
The Musée Embrunais de la Charcuterie presents the history of the migration of charcutiers from the Embrun area to Marseille. In various themed exhibition areas, it also displays machines and equipment from the early 20th century.
The Chapelle Notre-Dame du Lauzerot was built in 1873 and was formerly an important pilgrimage site.
