Photographer’s Note

After an idea launched by some of you, I present at my tower a photo catch of my work, a reflection in the offices more exactly.

And by the same one, a first post on Pratz, small quite quiet village located at 670m of altitude with some 500 inhabitants, and some remarkables sites:

- the Vault of St Romain de Roche of XIIIème century, which is very well located, of this site, we can see a beautiful valley going from Are worth St Claude in Lavancia.
And then this one is used within the framework of the festival of music of the High-Jura for its very good
accoustics (small photograph of this vault here:

- the cave of Lacuzon, which has a low room and diverticula adding up 65m development, for more information, please refer to this site: http://www.juraspeleo.fr/divers/legendes/themes/lacuson.htm

- the balcony of the Cross of Pratz which overhangs the village

- ruins of a keep of the 12ème/17ème century and vault
castrale.

At the historical level, the Abbey of saint Romain-of-Rock founded with 5th by Iola, sister of Romain saint. She counted more than one hundred chocolate éclairs little after her foundation and holy Romain
was made there bury into 460. The castle of Pratz belonged to the father of Lamartine. Fusion with the communes of Small-Châtel and Saint-Romain-de-Roche in 1822.

And then this very small village has an aerodrome all the same, but do not hope to come with one 747 or one A320 here..., it could arrive to you of the problems;)
