Ella Maillart traveled around the world. The "Espace Ella Maillart", a permanent exhibition housed in the former Sainte-Barbe chapel in Chandolin, portrays the work of this extraordinary woman through photographs and drawings, articles and posters, various objects and a video presentation. Born in Geneva in 1903, Ella Maillart led a fast-paced life. With her sporty, inquiring and adventurous nature, she realized herself as a photographer, journalist and writer. She drew inspiration to write her novels from her various travels around the world. In 1946, she settled in Chandolin and had her chalet "Atchala" built there. She spent 6 months a year here until the end of her life. She died here in 1997, at the end of a full life. She is considered one of the greatest travelers of the 20th century.
