The Hameau de Boudin with its chapel dedicated to Saint Jacques, has been listed as a protected site since 1943 and some of its chalets are listed in the heritage inventory, installed on a steep slope between 1230m and 1380m. Formerly the hamlets of Beaufortain lived isolated especially in winter. Life was then organized around several poles, which are the drinking trough, the bread oven, the school and the chapel. This hamlet was marked by 2 violent fires, one in 1962 which destroyed 2 houses in the central part (small chalets replaced them, and the other in 2010 which destroyed 3 houses in the lower part, all three From this hamlet, you can observe a beautiful panorama over the Arêches valley.
By etymology, Boudin perhaps takes its name from a former inhabitant of
village: Jean Boudin who would have lived in the village at the end of the XNUMXth century. Or
then, it is said that Boudin was founded by a Burgundian named Baldwin who
Latinizing would have given Baldinus or Boldinus. He would have founded a villa
(agricultural exploitation): the villa Baldina became with the evolution of Boldin then
Black pudding.
