Fort Mutin (built beginning in 1694), in Fenestrelle was a place of defense for the French army and may prove to be an excellent place today to observe and “feel” the history of a valley that has been French and Waldensian. That it has endured, and seen pass, the Crusader and Savoy armies. It will be a walk that will be talking, because in addition to the footsteps you will also hear the words of the people who over time endured the armies that passed through the valley, and it will be one of discovery because you will look around and discover nature and the plants that make it up.
