“La virée légendaire” (Legendary trip)
The ‘Virée légendaire’ is a tour in the lower valley of Le Giffre.
Imagine ...
You are peacefully travelling along a mountain road when suddenly a character standing in the middle of the road stops the bus. It is La Fouèse, Philomène or one of the other actor-guides from the open air museum.
They will lead you on a journey between legend and reality where humor is king, to discover the Haute Savoie heritage.
Groups only.
