Origin and history

The Musée de la Pomme d'Hauteville-Gondon is a monument located in the commune of Bourg-Saint-Maurice. This place, whose exact period is not specified in the available sources, seems to be dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of a specific aspect of local heritage, probably related to apple cultivation, as its name indicates. In the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, local museums often play a key role in the transmission of traditional know-how and regional history.

Bourg-Saint-Maurice, located in Savoie, is an area where agriculture, especially fruit trees, has been able to occupy an important place in the local economy and culture. These museums conserve collective memory and provide a space for visitors to discover.
