Take a step back into the history of Saint-Maurice and its cultural and religious heritage with this pleasant new proposal. Experience a unique moment by exploring the Saint-Maurice Abbey Treasure of the Saint, made up of goldsmith's jewellery and sumptuous relics dating from the 5th century to the present day. Follow the guide to round things off by tasting a selection of wines in the bell tower of the Abbey. You may even wish to take a guided historical tour of the heart of Saint-Maurice before heading to the Abbey.

The chapel of Notre-Dame du Scex is carved in the cliff, 90 meters above the city. The place recalls the hermitage of Saint Amé, a monk of the Abbey who took refuge there in the 7th century. The current chapel dates from the 17th century, although there were several successive sanctuaries before this one. Above, in a central niche, we can perceive a wonderful Virgin and Child of the 13th century. Furthermore, not far from the Chapel, there is the statue that recalls the first hermit Saint-Amé. Since then, thousands of pilgrims, tourists or curious have climbed the 484 steps to try to discover his secret. Finally, writers, poets or even artists have also been seduced by the mystery of the sanctuary.

Built in 1892, this military work allowed several hundred men to live up to three months in total autonomy. In 1946, the Fort of Dailly experienced an explosion of three ammunition stores that completely destroyed the fortification. Then, the fortress was rebuilt in 1948. Since its decommissioning in 1995, it is used as a place of instruction. With its two turret guns, the seventeen machine guns or the underground funicular, it is now possible to discover the life of the Fort. A fortification that had seen 500 years of evolution in one place.

In December, Saint-Maurice ospiterà la quarta edizione di Lumina, le voci della luce. La luce è il simbolo della creazione, della conoscenza e della pace. Evoca la conoscenza, i sogni, l’immaginazione, l’amore, la trasparenza, l’intelligenza e la spiritualità. Tutti questi valori li troverete a Saint-Maurice per una festa dal carattere unico, basata sulla cultura, l'arte e la convivialità. A Saint-Maurice, Lumina unisce la luce naturale alla musica. Questa è la sua particolarità, la sua originalità, il suo marchio di fabbrica. C'è tanto da vedere, ma anche da ascoltare, nelle strade, nelle piazze e nell'Abbazia, con un concerto che si terrà ogni sera nella Basilica a lume di candela.
