Attractions
The commune's biggest tourist attraction is the Island of Chambod which also has a camp site. There is also the Donjon de Buenc which used to be an outpost along the Savoy frontier. The village of Hautecourt is also home to a rare type of cave which is only accessed once every seven years so as not to disturb the many species that are indigenous to it.
Sports
The commune also has a football team who regularly play in Hautecourt in their home colours of purple.
gollark: If there was a mechanism in place to stop people doing that sort of only-self-harming-maybe stuff, which there is now, it *would* (and *has*) been affected by political pressure.
gollark: Thing is, this mechanism for banning things would be controlled by a *government* or something, which means that when a sufficient mass of people complain that something is Clearly Immoral™ (see: homosexuality, drugs, whatever else) it would be banned.
gollark: Too bad!
gollark: Maybe require a warning or something, at most?
gollark: So inform them, don't force them to not do things.
