Bugey Sud Grand Colombier
August 2, 2024
Hiking
Lake Barterand was an interesting place of experimentation to promote the art of stone cutting. A giant sculpture was created in homage to the legends of Bugey and in particular here in Gargantua, on one side of the lake.
This work first required cutting the rock in order to remove part of the hard limestone. Subsequently, 7 sculptors from all over France came together to create this work in bas relief where we find: Gargantua the giant man and gourmet who opens the rock with his powerful hands.
