Évires: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Nature

From an observation hut at Étang du Marquis, wetland birds can be observed on the Plateau des Bornes.

Culture and History

The Glacière d'Evires was established near Évires railway station in 1889 to produce artificial ice. The former Glacière d'Evires occupied an area of 3.23 hectares; it was served by a branch line connected to Évires railway station via a junction.

The first Church of Saint John the Baptist in Évires was built before the 15th century in the hamlet of La Côte. The Church of Saint John the Baptist in Évires was rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style in 1867. Its bell tower was raised by 11 metres in 1998; the new tower received two new bells.

The Musée de la Poterie Savoyarde displays more than 2,000 ceramic objects dating from the 12th century to the early 20th century. It is housed beneath a 19th-century wooden framework typical of the Plateau des Bornes.
