What to see · Gressan

A twelfth-century tower and a fifteenth-century wing among apple orchards, once called the tower of the Poor.

Two raised doors at five and eight metres: a case with no parallel among Aosta Valley towers.

The moraine ridge that legend says covers Gargantua's little toe, a nature reserve since 1995.

One of the valley's finest Romanesque bell towers and a facade frescoed in 1453, among the orchards.
