Cultural, Exhibition in Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans

    The project was carried out in sections: in 1913 traffic was opened up to the hamlet of Champhorent, and work began on the Champhorent to Les Etages section. The war interrupted the work, which was not resumed until 1920. At the end of July 1921, the first car could reach La Bérarde.
