dove sostarono i Valdesi reduci dalla Germania nel 1689, prima di scavalcare il Colle
del Pis e scendere in Val Germanasca.

This hamlet has been uninhabited for many years: only two houses remain standing.
The history of this hamlet is characterized by multiple destructions due to war or religious reasons:
in the seventeenth century, it was destroyed by the French led by General Catinat, then by the Savoys
with Vittorio Amedeo II, finally by the Germans in 1944 in retaliation against the Parisians. It was
the last place where the Waldensians returning from Germany stopped in 1689, before going over
the Colle del Pis and descending into Germanasca Valley.
(You can reach this hamlet by car to a certain point, then you have to proceed on foot)
Dans cette bourgade inhabitée depuis maintenant plusieurs années, seules deux maisons sont re- Hamlets/Les Bbourgades
stées debout.
L’histoire de ce village est marquée de nombreuses destructions pour des motifs religieux ou pendant
des guerres : au XVIIe siècle, les troupes françaises du Général Catinat, puis les Savoie avec Vittorio
Amedeo II, et enfin les allemands en 1944 en représailles contre les partisans. Ce fut le dernier endroit
où s’opposèrent les Vaudois sortant du conflit avec l’Allemagne en 1689, avant de franchir le Colle del
Pis et descendre dans le Vallée Germanasca.

Seytes (Lâ Sèita, 1920 m). È la borgata più in quota, completamente distrutta

una casa.
È la patria del famoso comandante partigiano Maggiorino Marcellin (Bluter).

Troncea (La Trountséië, 1915 m). Situata nel Parco della Val Troncea, è la se-
