Thanks to Patrick Malan, Hugh Seay and Virginia Holter. Chambons and Mentoulles are located in the mountains and valleys of the Piedmont about 70 kilometers west of Turin (Torino). Pictures of the area can be seen at a web site for the town of Fenestrelle. www.fortedifenestrelle.com/Indice2.html This web site has good pictures of the area as well as a small map showing the forts and towns. This area was in the path of the migration of the Waldensians as they moved from the Dauphine and Savoy into what is now Italy, and then north through Switzerland and into Germany.
