Savoy naturally adopted́ woodcarving as an artistic form that corresponds perfectly to the local geographical data. 
Rural art, it is therefore in the countryside that we must look for the most characteristic forms. 
Pure art? One can doubt it, Savoie, and this is its interest, was a privileged place of convergence of Italian, Comtois and French artistic influences which, all, deeply impregnated the inhabitants of this beautiful region and which constitute today the richest heritage of popular art with curious and rare pieces.
