Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte

In the Romanesque style, the church of Saint-Nizier dates from the 11th century and was rebuilt during the 12th century. Although it was seriously damaged during the revolutionary period, it still retains its bell-tower, as well as its flat-bed choir. Inside, the decor dates back to the 1960s, and you can admire a path of the cross in vineyards and sycamore maple branches. The building was largely rebuilt in the mid-19th century.

Historic national site, the memorial of Saint-Nizier was built in memory of the victims of the Second World War. It takes place on the site of the fighting that took place in June 1944 and welcomes the remains of civilian resistance fighters and soldiers. It is possible to discover a national necropolis where 98 resistants are based, like the writer Paul Prévost.

Labeled Heritage of the 20th century, the springboard of the 1968 Olympic Games lies below the Trois Pucelles. Measuring 90 meters, he served for the combined ski events.

Three hiking trails cross the Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte, the GR9, the GR91, and the country hiking trail, the Tour des Quatre Montagnes.
