St. George is full of sights to visit

Has St. George, the past remains present. Many tours are available. Thus, it is possible to go to the sawmill (also known as the mill). It has been restored by volunteers. We discovered a hydraulic saw installed since 1816. To power this wheel of 6.5 meters of diameter, and see it come to life, the water of two ponds is used. A small museum on the upper floor gives some clarifications to better understand the work.

The coal is one of the crafts that has survived until the last century. In 2003, a coal miner and a team have made a grindstone and coal. A place to visit to safeguard the heritage crafts.

A curiosity that made him known St. George is its cooler. Two ladders provide access to a part of this cave to a depth of 22 meters.

Close to the cooler source is called the Rock of the Water Pending. This water offers visitors a way to quench your thirst. It is a source that nobody seems to know the origin, it does heaps and is always fresh.

Saint-George is noticed by a craft heritage famous. It is still possible to find the lime kiln and the glass. Several other sites are worth a visit including the national arboretum of Aubonne, with its museum of the wood and its 3’000 species of plants. Not to be missed also the discovery of sculptures in wood. They reveal themselves in the course of a journey between the vineyards of Féchy and the col du Marchairuz. These sculptures were done by artist Paul Monney who lives in St. George. They represent the city, the flora, the fauna, the trades and many characters of the region.
