Avenches celebrates the 150th birthday of its most famous citizen, General Henri Guisan
Discover the travelling exhibition ‘GUISAN 150’, a fascinating retrospective celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Henri Guisan, an emblematic figure in Swiss history. Currently touring recruit schools and military training grounds, this exhibition offers a unique insight into the decisive moments in the life of this military leader and our country.
