To mark its 10th anniversary, Patrimoine Champérolain presents a retrospective of village life in the 19th century in the form of a comic strip drawn by Cosey to a script by Fabrice Clément. The original plates are on display in the village street; each panel is divided into two parts: In the first part, the comic book recounts Gustin's discoveries in his village. Gustin, a Champérolain, was born around 1780. After serving as a mercenary in Napoleon's armies, he experienced the Berezina in 1812, and forced exile in Russia. Homesickness and the desire to be reunited with his family brought him back to Champéry in the summer of 1863, some 50 years later. In the second part, scenes of daily life provide an opportunity to comment on the art of living of a hard-working and dignified mountain population. Political life, domestic life, the civilization of hay, woodworking, mercenarism, emigration, tourism, etc. are all covered.
