Bouvesse-Quirieu Bread Furnaces

  • Historic site and monument

Every hamlet had its own communal furnace, meaning that it was at the disposal of all the residents. Nowadays, the bread furnaces are more than just decorative features. They are also meeting places where people gather for friendly celebrations during the local bread festivals.

Several furnaces still remain in the village, including those at Le Rolland, Chavanne, Enieu, Marlieu, Quirieu, Quirieu Port and Le Bayard.
Those in Marlieu and Le Bayard are still used regularly by the village's various associations.
