-“NOMAD” at the summit of Eguilles!!!
A meeting between two worlds, the one imagined by Dufaux and drawn by Xavier in “Nomad” (Le Lombard) after “Crusade” and the very real world at the summit of Eguilles in Valberg. A surprising contrast between the snowy expanses and panoramas of the site and the clear yet finely detailed line of Philippe Xavier. Because “Nomad” tells of the wanderings of Gauthier de Flandres, a young leader of the Catholic army who becomes a Nomad, in a setting of sand dunes and desert expanses.
Summit of Eguilles, from February 12 to March 6.
