Samoëns church Samoëns church, an icon of the work made by the stonemasons, is the symbol of the village. Former collegiate church of the Diocese of Geneva, the current church was built on the ruins of the old church destroyed in 1476 during the invasion of the Bernese. From this original church, only the lower part of the bell-tower (13th century) and the chapel Saint- Claude (15th century) seem to remain. It was not until 1555 that the construction work was completed (porch, right aisle) followed by choir (1605), left aisle (1621) and sacristy (1840). The church building sites and decorative elements have been the work of des Maçons de Samoëns, stonemasons famous in Savoy and France, to whom Vauban, Voltaire and Bonaparte appealed for many works. The builders of Giffre left in the church traces of their know-how. 6 Le saviez-vous ?

  • First Dispatch Off by Heart and out of Breath
    49 FIRST DISPATCH Off by heart and out of breath Dear Reader, This is the first in a set of fourteen dispatches to be written about a walk from the Northern French town of Guînes to the Zeeland port of Vlissingen. These dispatches are being posted to a small group of recipients connected to four countries: South Africa, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The four countries are all part of the story. The walk retraces the route that one family of Huguenot forebears followed when they fled France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. There are two parts to the walk. The first is circular and it takes in the three villages in which this family lived - Offekerque, Vieille-Eglise and Guemps - as well as the two towns to which they went to baptize their children – Guînes and Calais. Following on from this is a longer linear walk that leads away from these French villages to the Dutch harbour of Vlissingen. Both the circle and the line will be walked in the summer of 2014. For most of the way I will be walking alone. Off by Heart and Out of Breath is conceived as a project of recuper- ation. Three hundred and twenty eight years separate the fleeing of this family from France and my re-visiting of the places they inhabited. Beyond knowing their names, the villages in which they lived and the towns in which their children were baptized, the ship aboard which they left Vlissingen for the Cape of Good Hope and the farm and uten- sils they were granted on their arrival there, I know very little about this family.
