Visits & Workshops (Anglo-French)

On-the-field Workshop

Remembrance Tourism

Following History and Memory in

Le Chambon sur Lignon

The first leg of the visit will cover

the “Memory Trail” linking the

hideouts used by Jewish refugees

during WW2 fleeing persecution.

The trail includes the visit to some of

the prominent hideouts in the village.

This visit will question the role of

trails in making tourismifying banal’

places whose values are more in

memory and history than in material

or visual value.The second part of

the visit includes visit to the Lieu de

Mémoire, the recently opened visitor

centre in Le Chambon. The visit will

be guided by the cultural mediator

and the scientific expert of the visitor

center project.

Roots Tourism

The “Desert”, a “Montagne

refuge”: Religion, memory and

tourism

The visit to Le Mazet Saint Voy

village will bring us to sites of

memory for local and extra-local

Protestant communities, as these

repressed minorities had to settle

down in the area during the Modern

Age. The visit will show how

religious conflict contributes

toward shaping a territorial identity

where religious identities are still

pivotal to identity as “sites of

memory” (mountain, temples,

material heritage…). Such

affiliations can be viewed as very

much connected to national history

of France as to the world history

and memory of Protestantism. This

visit will be an opportunity to

understand contemporary diversity

of religious communities still living

on the Plateau, considered as a

“Montagne Refuge” as well as a

sacred place, fostering forms of

“roots tourism” and “pilgrimage

Quality Tourism

Local Past, Tourism and the

rural economy on Haute Lignon

Plateau: ‘Know-how’ of the past,

tourism of the present, and local

economic development

This visit will be an occasion to

understand how tourism over the

years has shaped rural economy in

this part of France, and how

tourism has historically worked

toward shaping the local

communities on the plateau,

bringing discernible economic

changes to the locals. It will also be

an occasion to discuss about

heritagization of “local products”

and how memory of local “know-

how” is transmitted and used in

touristic activities. The visit to

various farms will allow

participants to meet local producers

of the Plateau.

During this on-the-field workshop

the delegates will be welcomed at

the “Halle Fermière” du Mazet, a

“tourism place” used as a tool of

tourism”.

The second part of the visit

includes a visit to Tence, the

‘frontier’ between Protestantism

and Catholicism. We propose to

visit this locality in search of any

visible traces of the bygone

sectarian strife between Catholics

and Protestants. Tence is also a

stage for one of the Catholic

Pilgrimage Route in Europe, Saint

Jacques of Compostella. It is also a

city planned to be an urbanized

symbol of Reaction – the orthodox,

cultural and architectural offensive

against the rise of Protestantism in

France during Modern Age. We

would like to understand what is

still preserved of this complex and

entangled religious history in the

present material heritage, the

collective memory and the tourism

narratives in the contemporary

backdrop of a secular milieu that

now characterizes France.

local “sustainable development”

where local producers sell

handicraft and local products – and

where the local rural identity is

promoted and sold.
