Cow art
ONCE UPON A TIME...THE COW ART
In the year 2000, Le Grand-Bornand is 2000 inhabitants, 2000 cows, pastures at nearly 2000 meters altitude. So naturally, Le Grand-Bornand became THE CAPITAL OF COW ART!
Imagine a little: an entire village that celebrates the cow: sculptures, paintings, photos, comics ... an artistic flock for the least unexpected!
At the option of a walk without beginning or end, find the works present in the village and Chinaillon. So, let yourself be guided!
