Discover the prolific, long-ignored work of this painter who loved the region, which he visited on holiday from an early age, from Évian to Saint-Paul via Neuvecelle. Local paintings will therefore be in the spotlight, especially those of snow, which fascinated him especially when captured on film. An eminently discreet artist, his memory lives on in the testimonials of the Dine, a young resident of Saint-Paul in 1930, when the childless Swieykowski couple invited him to join them as their young lady's companion.

Lecture at 2:30 p.m., followed by a welcome drink.
Stroll at 4:45 pm, to discover painting sites in the village. Walk and lecture organized in partnership with the Association Mémoire et Patrimoine Saint-Paul-en-Chablais, the Association des Amis d'Alfred Swieykowski and the Pays d'Évian - vallée d'Abondance art and history organization.
