Post 6. White Cellars/Caves Blanches
At the end of this path, down, on your left are the White Cellars, symbol of Grimentz. Built in 1850 as a summer residence and hunting lodge by the prefect of the district Joseph Rouaz, these buildings were divided into apartments, attics and cellars.
Now you plunge into the “unknown “ heart of the village. Down the road, stop for a moment in front of three small cellar doors and notice the axe-hewn beams, that attest to the age of this building.

Rooms were intended to keep the archives of the prefect and notary Rouaz. Some wine cellars, including that of the “ Société de développement “ of Grimentz / Saint-Jean, are still used today to keep the wine of the Glacier.
