Bon à savoir
Come and celebrate the patron saint of the village of Montchavin.
But who is Saint Agathe, and why did she become the patron saint of ski instructors and guides? Take a guided tour of Montchavin and find out!
Montchavin-Les Coches ski instructors put on a show for the patron saint. Then there's the not-to-be-missed blessing of the instructors' skis by a bishop who learned to ski at Montchavin...
