Escalade festival: Uri as guest of honour

The Geneva Council of State receives Alain Berset, President-elect of the Confederation, and the government of Uri, guest of honour of the Escalade. They watch the historical procession of the Compagnie de 1602.

His speech breaks the Escalade down into three elements: the ladder, the mask, the cauldron. He draws a comparison as a Fribourgeois: the Morat-Fribourg has no culinary tradition, and surviving a Bénichon meal is not an act of heroic resistance.
