  • Scholars and local historians agree that Les Escoyères is where the history of the Queyras region began. Numerous relics confirm the area's status as the "historical cradle" of the Queyras: ancient tombs, funerary objects, a 12th-century priory and, above all, two fragments of a Latin stele that were reused as lintels for a side door of the chapel dedicated to Sainte Marie-Madeleine, which predates the 16th century and has been listed as a Monument Historique since 1932.
