Fillinges: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

In Fillinges, the millstone quarries on Mont Vouan were classified as historic monuments by a decree dated 11 March 2009.

The millstone quarries were used from the High Middle Ages until the end of the 19th century; numerous tool marks are still visible today.

The quarry complex on Mont Vouan comprises seven millstone quarries. Some of these sites extend over several hundred metres and reach deep into the mountain.

The Church of Saint-Laurent in Fillinges was built in the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style. Its spire rises almost 40 metres high.

Local Life

Fillinges’ weekly market takes place every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the car park of the Salle du Môle.

Local artisans and producers offer, among other things, fruit, vegetables and poultry there; short supply chains are given priority.

Anyone planning a stay in Fillinges will want to rent a holiday apartment.
