'Samivel' Paul Gayet-Tancrède (1907 - 1992) Du Léman à La Méditerranée, La Grande Traversée des Alpes Françaises (From Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean, the Grande Traversée of the French Alps) (1975) Original vintage poster 99 x 62 cm Four mountaineers in the snowy Alps on La Grande Traversée, a long-distance walking and biking route from Thonon les Bains to Nice. Samivel was a writer, an artist, a photographer, an explorer, and more. In 1948 he accompanied Paul Émile Victor on the first French Greenland expedition, making three documentary films in the process. His friends included Théodore Monod and Gilbert André - the latter the mayor of Bonneval-sur-Arc and one of the founders of the Vanoise National Park - and with them and others he spent his whole life aiming for the protection of the imperilled countryside. The graphic artist side of him had a life-long fascination with high mountains, and his illustrated books and series of posters of the French Alps have long been popular.

During the Middle Ages, it was the largest village of Uppland, the eastern part of which probably originally formed the core of the complex of properties belonging to the Swedish Crown, the so-called Uppsala öd, of which the western part consisted of the royal estate...
