And since you don’t change a winning team, the format remains the same: you’ll be guided in small groups through the village to discover its most characteristic spots. At each stop, you’ll be able to escape into a story, carefully selected by our storytellers. At the end of the walk, a light appetizer will be served at Le Mazot restaurant.

Practical information:

- Start time: 7:30 p.m.

- Storytellers: Valérie Pellaud, Catherine Beysard, Aline Gardaz De Luca

- A free event open to everyone (recommended for ages 7 and up for better understanding)

- Registration requested at +41 27 777 11 19 or via email at biblio@valdebagnes.ch. Please specify the number of participants and whether you are registering for both the storytelling AND the dinner, or just the storytelling

- Organized by: Bagnes Library in partnership with CREPA
