An ambitious cultural policy
The commune of Saint-Gervais boasts a wealth of cultural sites, including libraries, museums and a music school, as well as a heritage that has been preserved and enhanced, ranging from ancient fortified houses from the medieval period to contemporary buildings, spa architecture, Baroque churches and chapels and traditional farmhouses.
The development of an abundant, lively and dynamic cultural activity promotes the attractiveness of the territory and accessibility to as many people as possible. For over ten years, the Commune has positioned itself as a cultural leader within its territory and the Pays du Mont-Blanc, but more widely in Haute-Savoie and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The European cultural projects in which it participates contribute to its transalpine influence, beyond national borders.
