The entrance to the village of Prats-Bas. In the background we see the point of Rasis. We can guess between the two, the valley of the Aigue Blanche torrent.

Molines-en-Queyras is a small town at the foot of Col Agnel which has a unique architectural style, typical of the high mountain villages of Queyras. Its heritage, both aesthetic and functional, has been well preserved and I recommend taking a look at it. Spectacular alpine setting.

Prats-Haut

Highlight • Other

In Queyras each valley has its architectural peculiarities. Here, the typical building is that of the large vaulted stable. The ground floor is in masonry, plaster and partly buried upstream. The entrance is through a courtyard which gives access to the stable, the estabblot (for goats and sheep), the kitchen and the bedroom (cazet). A raised floor allowed the family to sit above the animals and enjoy their warmth. Above the construction is made of wood. It is very ventilated in order to dry the hay. The hard-wearing floors to the north served as a threshing floor and the southwest-facing balconies were used for drying. The roof is generally shingle.

Saint Barnabé Oratory

Highlight • Other

The oratories are small religious monuments used for prayer. But not only, they could be used to indicate a direction, a source, a ravine or the entrance to a village. Each oratory protects its saint and each saint is invoked for a specific reason. Saint Barnabas was asked to stop the rain triggered by Saint Medard, the patron saint of farmers. A saying reads: "If it rains on Saint Medard and Saint Barnabas doesn't cut off his foot, it rains forty days later".

Saint Louis Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

In the 16th century, the wars of religion raged throughout France. Protestant troops settle in Queyras. In 1561 a Protestant community was formed in Abriès. From 1574 to 1583 the altercations appear and in 1587 the Queyras is Protestant. The Edict of Nantes (1598), established by Henry IV, established freedom of worship and calmed conflicts. When he came to power Louis XIV sought to unify the kingdom on the religious level. After multiple persecutions, he revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Like the Protestants of France, many Queyrassins decided to migrate to Switzerland, Germany, Latin America or South Africa. The Saint Louis Chapel was erected after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes on funds donated by Louis XIV.
