The “Jean Bapt'”, more than a tribute, a communion. The Jean Bapt festival is a five-a-side touch rugby tournament, in tribute to a former senior player of Rugby Club Annecy-le-Vieux (today BAAR Annecy-le-Vieux), Jean Baptiste Clerc, who died tragically on a mountain hike in 2021, at the age of 26.
