I remember when...Fascinating article and pictures. I remember when working a ski season there in the 90's meeting a restauranteur and his sons, who were all born in the old Tignes village. He didn't speak English and I was limited to my GCSE French, but he told me about the whole episode, protests etc, and that now every decade when the lake is drained they original villagers who are still around all make a pilgrimage. They went to the house they were born in and the old church where his wife/their mother was originally buried. Each time slightly less is visible due to the silt build up etc. Really poignant story.Edward Lightnoreply@blogger.com
