History of the 'Flotteurs'
In the past, wood cut in winter was transported to the plain by the Trient River. During the descent, the wood accumulated in places. The peasant-floaters would go down into the river to loosen the logs with the help of "grespils", a kind of wooden pole with iron spikes. The activity was very dangerous and regularly resulted in accidents.Follow the markers: Trail des Flotteurs du Trient
