Fribourg celebrated in 2017 the centenary of the presence of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry at the Villa Saint-Jean in Fribourg. Fribourg Tourisme participated in this celebrations of the 100th anniversary by publishing a comic strip.
From 1915 to 1917, Fribourg housed an illustrious man, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry who marked the 20th century.
This comic strip is first of all a testimony of the passage of this brilliant man in our city. Fribourg is proud of it and Fribourg Tourism could not miss the event without marking it!
