Special theatrical tour: Canfranc Station with Albert Le Lay
Travel back in time with Albert Le Lay in a beautifully staged tour that reveals an unsung hero who saved thousands of lives.
What is “Special theatrical tour: Canfranc Station with Albert Le Lay”?
During the Second World War, Albert Le Lay was the head of French customs and freight at the station: a quiet hero who saved a great many lives, until the Gestapo uncovered him and he had to stage an extraordinary escape. A discreet man, once the war ended he turned down posts and honours and never wanted to make much of what he had done. The performance by Manuel Bueno, the actor who brings Monsieur Albert to life, is an invitation to take part in an adventure — to relive that difficult period, help Le Lay solve riddles and challenges, and feel every bit of it. The whole thing unfolds inside the International Station of Canfranc, so along the way you also discover the origins of this great railway junction and the magnificent architecture of the complex.
