It also inherits from an eventful historical background due to the World Wars. Sixty-or-so museums, heritage sites (mills, hydraulic sawmills, mineshafts…), and interpretation centres led by local associations and players offer the opportunity to discover the Park’s heritage wealth. Many diverse themes are presented, including forest, agriculture, craftsmanship, industrial and technical heritages, arts, history, and lastly commemoration.
