Through "Mémoires du Pays de Gex", Philippe GAVILLET and his friend Hervé TIREFORD, originally from Gex, aimed to bring to life a collection of forgotten testimonies, memories, and anecdotes. This work is an invitation to travel back in time to discover a Pays de Gex that has undergone profound changes in just a few decades.
In their collaboratively written booklet "Mémoires du Pays de Gex", they passionately and simply recount a significant part of local history, from popular dances to small trades that have since disappeared.
More than just a nostalgic look at the past, this testimony represents a valuable transmission between generations.
