French artist Saype is inviting onlookers to contemplate nature through his latest giant fresco produced at the foot of Mont Blanc. Known internationally for his monumental artwork, the artist's latest piece, depicting a child and an elderly person, is located at more than 2,000 metres above sea level, in the northwestern Italian region of Aosta.
Marc, Emilien and Timothée are three French army veterans who were wounded in the Malian town of Gossi while taking part in France's Barkhane anti-jihadist operation. With help from their brothers-in-arms, they took on a challenge: a 170-kilometre, one-week hike around Mont Blanc. The trek, known as the "Tiger Raid", is a way for them to regain confidence and continue their recovery. Our team walked the last 20 killometres with them.
