Saillon, the village of Swiss Robin Hood

Joseph-Samuel Farinet , Switzerland's most legendary outlaw lived in the village of Saillon in canton Valais. He spent many of his 35 years on the run, wanted by the authorities for producing counterfeit coins, which he distributed among the poor. In 1880, he was found dead at the bottom of a gorge in the mountains near Saillon where he sought refuge. Already famous at the time of his death, his legend has grown. ( Swissinfo.ch) I captured these imaged in October, 2018 visiting Saillion and waking up to the mountains.
