Hérémence
Rue Pavé

This 16th-century wine press is part of the Hérémence multi-site museum. It is the last of its kind preserved in Valais and was used until the early 20th century. The grapes harvested in the plain were transported to Hérémence in “bosses,” waterproof leather bags attached to the mule's pack saddle. Until the opening of roads suitable for vehicles, mules remained the only means of transport in countless villages and hamlets in Valais.
