Demolished in 1985, the Auberge des XIX Cantons is shown on the Plans of 1756 on the right bank of the Jogne. It probably took on the name of the XIX Cantons in 1815, when Switzerland became 22 cantons following the Congress of Vienna.

It's not surprising that La Tzintre had an inn very early on, given the role the hamlet played as a veritable management centre for alpine cheese. Traffic began with the arrival of the barlatê - the herdsmen responsible for transporting the 20 or 30 kg wheels of cheese from the upper valleys on mules or on the backs of men.

Then, before the caravans of 50 to 250 mules set off for Vevey and France, La Tzintre salted and refined the Gruyère cheeses by the thousands in its cellars. In this way, the inn was able to quench countless thirsts, recovering from the exhausting walks from the summer pastures or preparing for the peregrinations on the long cheese route to Lake Geneva and beyond.

The season culminated towards the end of July with the Saint-Jacques bénichon, also known as the Bénichon de la Tzintre. Although it was the second oldest bénichon in Charmey, after the village bénichon, it was reputed to be fiercer. Since the demolition in 1985 of the XIX Cantons and the 1878 bridge - to correct the road - the walls of the Vanil de la Monse still resound with the sounds of the festival.
