In 2011, monumental black and white frescoes depicting scenes from Charlie Chaplin's films were inaugurated on the two towers of Gilamont, in the presence of Jamel Debbouze, Pascal Légitimus, Michel Leeb and Eugène Chaplin. These frescoes (the largest in Switzerland, at 40 metres high) were created by the painter-performer Frank Bourroullec. A total of 1,720m2 of brushstrokes were needed to turn these towers into art paintings. The project was set up to enhance the district where 400 people live.

Très facile à trouver, les fresques sont magnifiques. Je le suis arrêtée un bon moment pour les prendre en photo. C'est très impressionnant.

Un passage sur la route et tout à coup ... vous les voyez apparaître! Les fresques de Chaplin sont superbes! En direction du musée Chaplin, vous les verrez tout de suite en passant par la route. Vous n'êtes pas obligé de vous arrêter pour les admirer, mais je pense qu'un arrête peut être super pour les observer. Et c'est gratuit
