Intro

In 1993, the house of Jean-Pierre Perraudin (1767-1858), a farmer from Lourtier, self-taught and a keen observer, became the Maison des Glaciers.

In Lourtier, the house that locals call "the Perraudin House" has now become the Maison des Glaciers. Farmer of Lourtier, shepherd, keen observer and self-taught, Jean-Pierre Perraudin (1767-1858) was at the beginning of the 19th century one of the precursors of the famous "theory of glaciers", which revealed the past extension of these masses of ice which covered the whole of the alpine valleys.
