History of Les Brevieres Village….Tignes was originally only two villages, Tignes and Les Brévières, both traditional Savoyarde farming communities dating back to the 13th century.

However, much to the horror of Tignardes, in 1946, the French government decided that 'progress' was more important than tradition. The famous Dam was built and in April 1952 Old Tignes died under the rising waters, leaving only Les Brevieres intact
.
Three more Tignes were created; Les Boisses, Le Lac, and Val Claret, spreading up the valley to the base of the Grande Motte. The church was re-constructed in Les Boisses, including the cemetery, which was moved along with its' "long term inhabitants".

A point of local interest is that every 10 years the dam is drained for maintenance and the ruins of the original Tignes can be seen, providing ex-residents a focus for a regular pilgrimage.
