A Franco-Swiss memorial trail in honour to French Resistance fighter Michel Hollard, "the man who saved London".
In order to pass on vital information about future bombings of London, Michel Hollard crossed the French-Swiss border at La Brévine on several occasions, to get to the British embassy in Bern.
Come and follow in the footsteps of this unsung hero on the marked footpath from La Brévine to Louadey in France. Walkers can relive the history of the Resistance fighter, as close as possible to the clandestine route.
