Tartarin sur les Alpes

Tartarin, the boastful hero of Tarascon, is about to lose his title of president of the Alpine Club to a rival. To keep it, he sets off for Switzerland to climb the Jungfrau and Mont Blanc, in full gear, convinced that the Alps are a stage set run by a company for tourists. Between hotels full of travellers, a group of Russian revolutionaries and his faithful friend Bompard, he ends up in real danger. A comedy of the South of France, full of wit.
