Escalation

Today, the people of Geneva are celebrating the Battle of Escalade. Escalade owes its name to the attempt by the Savoyards to scale the walls of the fortified city using removable wooden ladders. Its annual celebration gives rise to all kinds of popular events (races, processions, chocolate pots) and is part of the living traditions of Switzerland. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #12December #Switzerland #Geneva #Climbing
