Römischer Meilenstein am Petit Croisse Baulet
Zeitraum der Öffnung
Throughout the year : open daily.
Der römische Meilenstein am Petit Croisse Baulet ist ein antikes Zeugnis im Val d´Arly. Er ist das Ziel einer Wanderung für erfahrene Wanderer mit guter Kondition, vor allem wenn es zu den beiden anderen römischen Meilensteinen am Col du Jaillet und am Col de l´Avenaz weitergehen soll (7 Std.).
The Petit Croisse-Baulet boundary marker is one of the three markers that have been found in Val d'Arly, on the former border between Ceutrons and Allobroges. It was built in 74 A.D. by the Romans in order to demarcate the territories of local tribes. The word "FINES", that means "limit", was carved on it. Until the 18th century, it marked the border of mountain pastures between La Giettaz and neighbouring territories. This marker, just like others, has been thrown down the slope in order to blur the border, because of conflicts and trials about the boundaries of pastures. It was found again 25 years ago but it has been topped and does no longer bear the inscription "FINES".
