Molines, nestled in the Beauregard massif, is composed of seven hamlets: the main village (Molines), La Rua, Gaudissard, Clot la Chalp, Pierre-Grosse, Le Coin et Fontgillarde. The ‘fustes’ (log chalets), the most popular Queyras architecture, can be found in the Aigues valley. Even now, modern buildings are inspired by this traditional architecture which was invented several centuries back. Access to Molines is by a pleasant road amongst larch trees, along which the Demoiselle Coiffée reveals herself. Also worth a visit, is the Saint Roman church and bell tower as well as the old bread oven, both located in La Rua. In this authentic setting, feel free to chat to the locals and ask them about their trades and traditions.
