Mexmoire

In 1956, *Cordée sans corde* (Rope Without a Rope), an adventure novel by Willy-André Prestre, was published.

Written in Mex, this book immortalized the region, elevating it to the status of a “secret Alps”—the world of a peasant-poacher caught up in his struggles and loves, fighting to survive and resist the rural exodus. Seven decades later, this story remains a valuable testament to the (harsh) life of the Alpine communities of yesteryear, founded on self-sufficiency.

Alain Besse invites you to the second illustrated event of the “Mexmoire” project to present this story during a lecture. The event will take place on Saturday, October 10, at 8:00 p.m., at the Salle de la Corniche in Mex. A vivid story told with passion, peppered with anecdotes and previously unpublished archival documents.

Free admission. Refreshments will be served after the presentation.
