About this listen

While visiting Melignon, you will discover a mysterious language, a local slang spoken by the Rhêmes valley ramoneurs – the chimney sweeps.
This was an exhausting yet sought-after job, so much so they used to leave from here and clean chimneys in Piedmont and the whole Aosta Valley.

Exploring Rhêmes-Saint-Georges is a podcast produced on behalf of Territori Svelati for the Rhêmes-Saint-Georges Municipality.
