Bivouac at Parmelan

The cliffs of Parmelan… we can see them from our balcony in Annecy.
“Mooom, can we sleep up there someday?”
“Yes… why not! We could pitch the tent with a view on our house!”

That sounds like a great excuse for a photoshoot! We mention it to our friend and ambassador Thibault Liebenguth, the king of family adventures, who suggests a nice and accessible spot at the foot of the cliffs. “The view from up there is just insane!” Perfect.

Everything seemed to be aligned for this shoot: a small weather window to catch the sunset, friends available for the fondue, Mr. Richard Bord himself in the region and free to shoot that evening, and even videographer Pierre-Emilio Medina, aka “PE,” ready to capture “a few shots.”

The result: a fantastic time with friends, an incredible sunset, a crazy wind, an excellent “Swiss” fondue, marshmallows roasted on the stove (since the wood was too wet 😅), very happy kids, and beautiful images to remember this moment forever 🤩.

We took SMÖGEN and MINI-SMÖGEN with us to carry the camp. SQUAMISH and WANAKA for the fondue and bottles. POPOYO for the children’s down jackets and doudous. TORQUAY for toothbrushes. MINI-HOIAN for phones and memory cards, and even PIHA for photographers!
