Generous cyclists at the téléthon Sure, it’s not a bike trip in the traditional sense— more like a "journey around my room" and rock around the clocks (in Faverges) on Saturday, November 30, 2024. Just a way to take part in the téléthon, add my little stone to the building, and... get the bikes out. No big trips, but a peek at the Viuz church (a remarkable Romanesque church) and the *hourd* in Faverges. Plus, it’s on the route of the Seyssel-Annecy bike path: Faverges–Albertville–Grenoble–Valence.
