Maison Bertrand
A rare example of bourgeois architecture from the early 20th century.
The house has remained almost intact since it was built. Upon the death of its last owners, it was bequeathed to the Abbey of Saint-Maurice. It is still a private residence today.
The house once belonged to two sisters who remained unmarried and childless: Adrienne Bertrand (known as Didette), a Latin and French teacher at the gymnasium (high school), and Marie-Louise Bertrand (known as Rily), a psychologist. Both were the daughters of Denise Rey and Adrien Bertrand (1884-1947), the youngest of four children born to Marie d'Angreville (1859-1934) and Louis Joseph Ernest Bertrand (1830-1908), who were themselves involved in one of the first divorces in the canton.
