A tiny hamlet

Situated just below the village of Flanthey, Vaas is a tiny hamlet that would go completely unnoticed were it not for a "castle", a fortified house whose origins are lost in the distant past. In the 16th century, it was the summer residence of the lords of Granges, a village whose access was difficult for several months of the year because of the meandering Rhône and the marshes.
