What landmarks are in Bourg-Saint-Maurice?

Popularly known as Bourg, Bourg-Saint-Maurice is a commune of the Savoie département, in France. Located in the heart of the French Alps, Bourg is part of the Paradise ski area. The town is a popular summer and skiing destination, and its major "landmarks" are all-natural. For example, Bourg offers a whitewater slalom course on the Isere river used for international canoe and kayak competitions. The course on the Isere has been host to the ICF world championships and is used by many European teams as a training course in the summer. The surrounding mountains are good for walking and mountain biking. Some of Les Arcs ski lifts operate during July and August to get walkers to the higher peaks, and one can take mountain bikes up on these. Finally, there is a campsite in the town (Le Versoyen) which is located by two big supermarkets, and the town's open air (and indoor) swimming pool.
