50 years Feast of Saint Agatha

But who is Saint Agathe, and why did she become the patron saint of instructors and guides? Take a guided tour of Montchavin and find out!

Montchavin-Les Coches ski instructors put on a show for the patron saint. Then there's the not-to-be-missed blessing of the instructors' skis by a bishop who learned to ski at Montchavin...
