Live the experience Creative Walking Day

Take a trip to Poterie Martin! It’s a discreet workshop, with glass roofs, small tiles with a patina of age, an earthen floor, an old stove, centuries-old walls and framework – and the simple act of pushing open the heavy door hints at a wonderful journey back in time. Edith and Patrick Martin perpetuate the art of Savoyard master potters, adding just the right amount of nobility to their glazed clay pieces…

Drop in at L’Augusta, a showcase for local designers. L’Augusta gives 13 local designers the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work – jewellery, pottery, soaps, turned wood objects, textiles, etc. – in a boutique run by each of them in turn. – in a boutique run by each of them in turn.

Discover the Parcours de l’Art Vache, or contemporary art that’s “really” accessible! The only one of its kind in the world, the “Parcours de l’Art Vache” is as progressive, arty and offbeat as it gets. Walkers can enjoy hundreds of works – paintings and sculptures – permanently installed throughout the village, maintained and regularly renewed by professional and amateur artists from all over the world. It’s a veritable open-air art gallery, offering a fresh, offbeat view of Grand-Bornand’s ‘star’ ruminant.

Take a walk along the mountain discovery trail. Leaving from Le Grand-Bornand Chinaillon, this 2? hour loop trail has 11 information panels giving walkers a better understanding of the different aspects of the mountain: fauna, flora, habitat, geology… while enjoying a splendid panorama from the Col de la Colombière to La Tournette.
