Noës
Sainte-Thérèse de Lisieux Church (1)

Until the early 20th century, the hamlet of Noës was only occupied in spring and autumn by the inhabitants of Mayoux, Saint-Jean and Pinsec, villages in the Val d'Anniviers. The villagers went down to the plain to tend to their vines and, as there was no church, they attended religious services in Chalais and Granges. It was only in 1927 that the decision was taken to build this church, as several Anniviers families had settled in Noës to work at the aluminium factory in Chippis, which had opened in 1908.
