Tony Parker walks in the Friborg Pre-Alps and climbs to the summit of Niremont, with a view of the Moléson. Tony Parker discovers the Alphorn then enjoys a fondue demi-moitié. The ex-French basketball player immerses himself in the maturation of alpine cheeses and then eats a little more cheese, Gruyère and Vacherin of course.
All these scenes are visible in a video posted online by the ex-NBA star, now 44 years old. This is a promotional video because the Spurs legend has become an ambassador for Switzerland Tourism France. The idea is to prove to our neighbors that coming to Friborg in autumn is also worth the detour.
The campaign, reports “La Liberté”, was launched on Thursday with the support of the Friborg Tourism Union. “Tony Parker also tried his hand at the Alps horn, with great success, before enjoying a rendition of Ranz des Vaches,” said his press release.
The video offers pretty images and whets the appetite, but we just regret that it does not show this guaranteed “successful” test. We will not be entitled to the usual comic effect because, without disrespecting the Frenchman’s talents, a first attempt at playing the Alps horn usually results in a little suspicious sound rather than a great melody.
In any case, let us note the scale of the audience reached. “TP” has more than 800,000 subscribers on Instagram. And more than 3 million on Facebook.
