To preserve VAUJANY as an authentic mountain village new buildings have to respect local traditions.

• VAUJANY

The name comes from the latin word janua which means door and vau, wich means valley. So Vaujany means THE DOOR TO THE VALLEY.

In Roman times it was impossible to go up the Eau d'Olle. The Maupas passage had not yet been discovered and travellers wanting to go in the Savoy have to pass  Vaujany and the Sabot  (from the latin Saboiam, who will give SAVOY).

• The inhabitants are called : LES VAUJANYENS
