I will show you what the entre de mer is the entre de mer is a terroir of the Gironde which owes its name to its geographical position between two rivers the Garonne and the Dordogne despite all this water the entre de mer is above all a land of wine and winegrowers
If we had to materialize the entrance of M by a sound it is this one abbey of astide castle here the architectural heritage is unique and deeply marked by history and the revolutionaries will try to use it as a prison and at this moment it’s
The worst that happens for this place and this historical heritage sometimes finds outlets that are unusual to say the least a concert in this ESP it’s pretty I think you will discover that the entre de mer is also a real land with its art of living and its
Gasc les de Ch spirit tradition where the woodpigeon is deified, they are not nice like that in principle we show them the box of small weight and that calms them except Montségure land Blasimon or even pencil our cruise will cast ink in the most
Beautiful coves of the sea [Music] many inhabitants of the sea work in Bordeaux this is the case of our first guide ec director of a music school he is also responsible for an essential concert hall for rock groups in [Music] Barbé tour last night Dominica concert today
The entre deeur in fact eric has three passions rock wine country and the Grandare that’s why he arranged to meet us in the little pencil station in the heart of the sea entrance hello hello so there are the bikes I’m going to make you try P something like
That it’s not a bit big it can lower the se a the frame TR frame big there but have a good trip but thank you see you soon I hope it will be good yes in this country the bike is the best
Way to escape to discover the charms of the countryside this is what gave him the idea of founding the festival opens the way its principle mixing cycling and wine on the old railway line Bordeaux has today been transformed into a cycle path in while cycling with my friends suddenly
A flash idea comes to me but [ __ ] it would be really good to create something that is like a concert that we could do in each of the villages that the trail passes through, enjoy
Well the wines that we also cross from the inlet of the sea eating local products listening to rock and then cycling gastronomy and cycling is not contrad victory the pinard too but hey you have to be careful but but all that is not contradictory that’s how there was
The idea of doing that what on the road again on the track the first surprises await us finally the Gard desped everyone gets off ah Patrice Durbin hello hello it’s okay yes Patrice
Is a friend of IC they wanted to introduce us to this station transformed into a restaurant where the adventure of the festival began we were 15 to 16 years old and we asked the mayor of softire de Guyenne to let us
Have this station he told us ok but it will be necessary renovate the station uh I’ll give you everything you need like windows masti paints and others that I’ll give it to you but you have to retype it and
Then I’ll leave it to you [Music] since the Gard desped has made small ones where the groups of rock perform regularly thanks to [Music] er tradition obliges each concert is preceded by good food with local products from Bordeaux between the sea admit all the same that attending a
Rock concert in the old hall of Gard d ‘a small village is not ordinary and surprises like that at the sea entrance have many more in store for you [Music] because there is no shortage of activities on this 54 km cycle path named Roger Lapébi in homage to the Gironde champion
Who won the Tour de France in [Music] 1937 almost all the old stations that line it have been redeveloped into a git restaurant or even a flea market example at Brigitte in laatraine we are here in the station that is to say in the station hall there here it was the
Distribution of tickets here is the luggage storage we transformed the place like we do the flea market we installed suitcases and it is here we transformed we made a small bar a refreshment bar thanks to its festival ec is known as
The lOUPBLANC here it’s impossible to ride a bike without meeting a friend hello how are you his favorite part of the route is the tunnel de la Sauve Eric loves crossing it at full throttle it’s a magical place where the children of the country have always loved to test their
Courage, especially when the trains still used it. I knew the train which Pora which went to the despied factory which went to fetch the cement at the factory and then well it was abandoned it was trucks and then after that it was we walked on the on the rails on the old sleepers
What then after they made the track there paradoxically the modest bikes today impresses this gentleman much more than the old steam rooms of End Thing I don’t pass alone now at my age before when we were funny we passed there there are things to
Put on when the train arrives and everything but now with everything we see no fear during this time reaches the end of the trail it is here in Sauvet de Guyenne that he spent all his youth this bastide no longer has any secrets for him [Music] characteristic
Of the entrance to the sea the bastides are fortified towns in the Middle Ages their architectural quadrilateral plan is still the same with in the center a square surrounded by an arcade where you can stroll and rediscover the atmosphere of the markets of yesteryear among the most famous in the country
Figures in particular sauvterre montségure pencil pelgru cadiillac or even Blasimon other historical particularity of the country these abbeys each more beautiful than the other the bastide of Blasimon for example has one of great beauty whose monastery dates from the 10th century
But it is for the abbey of the Sauve Maageure Keric has a small weakness he absolutely wanted to show us around it taking advantage of Isabelle’s enlightened knowledge hello Here hello ériic Isabelle welcome to the abaye of the Sauve Majeur in front of this engraving which is very precious for
The architectural history of this site uh you may know it the abaye de la Sauve major unlike the abaye of Saint-Ferme is in ruins today it is typically the kind of improbable place which inspires our [Music] heart La Sauve Majeure is a masterpiece of
Romanesque art classified as a historic monument from the 1840s laabay is today listed as a UNESCO world heritage site as one of the most beautiful sites of the Saint-Jacques pilgrimage of Compostela the monks stayed there until the French Revolution the last monks there are three
And it is on the eve of the French Revolution the monastic orders are abolished and these monks are chased out by the revolutionaries who will enter this church and plunder plunder the last treasures which belonged to these monks and the revolutionaries will try
To use it as a prison to lock up the counter-revolutionaries the vaults are cracked the buildings are in poor condition the prison will be transferred to cadiiaak to the castle of cadiiaak and at that moment it’s the worst that happens for this place it will be handed over to quarrymen it will
Serve as a stone quarry so take a good look at these monsters from the Roman bestiary two snakes with intertwined bodies this time two basilicas facing each other body of a shell like a monster snake with an incendiary gaze here we are arrived under the bell tower you have
There above your head the oculus through which passed the ropes which were used to ring the bells and you have there the small staircase which will take you drive to the terrace of this bell tower you will discover the landscape one of the characteristic landscapes of the
Sea entrance a rock concert in this space it would be really really not bad yeah yeah it will be quite pretty I think a flight of wood pigeon at fond les palombes it is precisely the guilty pleasure of our next two guides Dominique
And Michel two figures of the country who live in Montségure today they have a hunting meal with friends the preparations are the opportunity to discover the authenticity of a market at the entrance to the sea is not felt hats for this winter, the moumoutes on their feet
Well that [Music] [Laughs] yeah here our two Gascons know everyone some traders are even part of the family this is the case of Manu the partner of Dominique al what is he going to do Dom today today well I think he’s going to make a garbure
A palombiè rather than chasing the Palom pass not it’s no so it’s going to be a good meal or as usual first step to prepare this lunchtime meal Raymon and his charcuterie ambulant hello Madame Mireille hello you brought me my my hams I forgot you forgot them ah but you
Can leave no ham for Dominique but musette a delicious Italian sausage so dear to sausage yes Coan seasoning it is is P a lot from CO what is that or that’s it ah yeah
Ah but that’s it after you cook it like a Bau feu you after I a little ham you’re going to make me that see you yes very well you put a palm on me like that I’m bringing it back to the palomere by
As they haven’t killed any it will be a pleasure for them to drink one goodbye sir lady thank you sir thank you very much Hi Hello chadame After the meat the vegetables there again Francis is a friend but above
All he’s a marketer very proud of the quality of his local products hi Francis hi Michel how are you are you hello in good shape e sound Bell they are beautiful your yeah there you go yeah yeah very
Good there yeah you see I had to wait very well he is extra this Tarb yeah I’ll take you or all these vegetables for a garbure for less than 10 € it’s not extraordinary that yes but
Between the sea it’s a very good wine it’s a it’s a terroir it’s a terroir it’s a it’s a way of living it’s a there it’s lots of things like that it’s good humor it’s friends it’s lots of things it’s the best terroir in France [Laughs] obviously
After the race a little aperitif is essential while all over France the villages are closing their bistro monséur he still has six proof that here conviviality is not just a view of the mind song hi that okay yes HI Tom it’s okay hello that and hello Happy Birthday thank
You I’ll come back to the aperitif Dominique and Michel did not choose this bistro by chance it ‘s Jean-Luc’s favorite a fervent defender of the local art of living he even created a new concept the café de pays Bob an American from monsigure and jeanluc monsur from
Monsure in fact the Cafés de Pays is an initiative that we had in many countries in France, rural countries uh where we It is said that it would be nice if in cafes which are places of conviviality our visitors could find both some local
Tourist information products and above all a boss who would be able to talk to them about the country and that that’s why it’s called café de pays in Aquitaine each café de pays must serve at least 3 local Vs that’s the basic rule and you can also find pâté
Du saucisson en fa a local product and therefore the visitor has the list on the mobile site since by definition it is in mobility welcome to pays.com with geolocation so in relation to where he is located he will find the nearest establishment it is it is a region of freedom ah
Yes that’s it so everyone drinks what they want it’s the country counters it’s this no it’s a country counter imagine Michel that everything that is drunk in beer is beer ‘between now there would be nothing left for the expiation here the conversations always end up revolving
Around the wine which is a little to the sea entrance what the camber is to Normandy moreover on this subject our merry fellows still have to refuel before going to their [Music] palombière it’s good yeah I’m going to take sea entree yes of course
What do I Magnum I v take TR Magnum entre de mer is the largest vineyard in the Gironde, we harvest the traditional grape varieties from the edge of milk to produce white , red and even rosé wines . it’s it’s it’s it’s it’s like radish it’s there it’s no no me I you
Say no, rosé is not wine, it’s a fashionable thing, claré is different, claré is different, we could talk about winemaking, but rosé is taught, no, it’s not wine. wine it doesn’t have too much aroma it’s made a lot often ENF it’s very acidified very often
It’s good but it’s a personal point of view eh or yeah I share it in addition so we don’t drink rosé no no no no we don’t drink no no yet we are old maids but
We don’t drink or what’s more, you want the wood on which the rosé I am faithful to the red yes but red to the white rosé no it’s rosé we have it never speak no land of vineyard par excellence
The entrance to the sea preserves almost everywhere traces of this ancestral exploitation you just need to know how to find them come on we will show you a vestige of the entrance to the sea ah yes here is this
Famous cadouille which no longer used for 25 or 30 years what have they kept they have kept nothing by that it pivots that it pivots all this arm there or there it is completely that it pivots that
Well recovered it puts at the bottom we see more nothing they dismantled everything more than 40 years ago the winegrowers still brought their production to Charette and stored it on its docks then a truck passed to collect the harvest shared by the cooperative cellar to me when I was the age of
3 years ago there were masons who were redoing the chet and it was during the bandages everything that is forbidden to the kid of course it is authorized sub consciously I found myself at one point falling into a tank full of wine there and then fortunately there was someone who
Got me out of there and who brought me lots of wine to my mother who must certainly have been very happy it was my baptism there I fell in when I was little before arriving at the palombière Dominique and Michel want to show us a little nugget of the sea entrance
At the abbey of Saint-Ferme but as soon as we arrive our two hunters immediately spot two birds at the top of the building and it looks like there is an intruder there there is it’s disturbing false alarm it’s not a woodpigeon but a common rock pigeon like those found
In Paris nothing to see then with the famous woodpigeons that Dominique and Michel like to hunt as children yes a rowed pigeon that’s it white feathers on the wings at the level of the collar at the level
Of the neck some white feathers pu it’s much bigger than a pigeon misé la la pigeon it’s it’s the wild this wild side this but very gentle it’s a wild which is fine here which is not it’s not it’s it’s it’s very fine it’s well and in the young it’s magnificent
Angomère the brooch oh there it’s magnificent it’s young you understood it with Michel and Dominique we can talk about everything provided you don’t come across a woodpigeon so for the visit of the places it is better to rely on Céline, the head of the postal agency of the village,
Passionate about history. Saint-Ferme is the only abay in the country not to have been destroyed during the Revolution, older than Notre-Dame de Paris, so it is remained perfectly intact until today above us we have a rather particular cross of give each rib
Is sculpted differently so it is quite rare to find Crusaders of jives in this style but the real treasures of the building is these unique capitals from the 12th century the most beautiful of the basiale the best known it is about David and Goliath so David is on the left he is
On one knee on the ground the pebble in his hand melts it in the other hand in front of him is the giant Goliath if you look closely at Goliath’s head you will see the Big Stone encrusted in the middle of the
Forehead and Goliath they represented him falling backwards that’s why his legs are positioned in a funny way he tilts completely backwards saintferme is such a pride of the sea that most of the priests who led him benefit from
Preferential treatment once called back to God yes we have our last priest who died in 1986 AB bay laab ba la payx who was buried under the hotel we have Léon de la lane bay we have bats bay we have jagour bay
A former priest and our last priest therefore who died in 1986 and who practiced for almost 50 years in Saint-Ferme that’s why we still wanted him to be buried in his church with this very busy morning aero market cultural visit it’s quite
Late that Dominique and Michel arrive finally at the palombière but there is no question of forgetting the most basic safety rules in fact where we put this sign because now we are going to arrive in the area of the palombière and we have to whistle to warn
People to the palombière that we arrive if a flight and who responds with whistling we must not move we must wait it’s good they replied here we can go and fortunately they can go because inside their fellow hunters as we were starting to find the time
Long what the hell is this and normally we had to eat at 1 o’clock eh it’s 1 o’clock we’re going to sit down to eat hello friends ah how nice it is at your place thanks for the welcome if you are a hunter you will necessarily like wood pigeon
Hunting and especially the warm atmosphere of the sea entrance pigeon groves I will ask you for a minute of attention please that’s the sea entrance the noise from the sea entrance and here we materialize the entrance of M by a sound it is
That in the hunting kiosk where we watch for possible flights of woodpigeon silence is of course required but on the kitchen side it is much more lively Dominique the cabin chef has finally decided to give us his recipe for a good garbu a soup is a starter but
Someone einkorn beans leek carrots navé potatoes cabbage that’s it then we added a little of meat in it what’s the jaré a little candied sausage we put a little of here’s a little pork all that VO simply no no you understood that well it’s only
The starter oner some grat homemade michelqu little grat nice duck gratons it’s restcitp stayed around the e like that we role since it’s all and then we will have a small leg of wild boar a few potatoes returned in other words in the sea entry a good self-respecting palombière has
Nothing to envy the most famous gastronomic restaurants, the only notable difference with the most beautiful Michelin-starred restaurants here, no fuss, you won’t burn, finishing your plate with a teaspoon, for example, would be a terrible lack of taste for that. nothing beats the sacro sa ch we are going to
Serve because we are going to serve too that’s it everything is delicious thank you Lord a splash of wine to rinse the plate and presto we rinse our throat and I don’t cover it eh cabbage, the soup must
Be a little fatty and there must be a little of everything left in it, you see how good a few carrots and everything we stir then after we drink it the plate is express plates it is not at C it’s
While our hunter friends are doing a spell on the boar’s thigh Dominique comes out of the cabin to explain to us the secrets of woodpigeon hunting there I’m going down to the
Apau a caller there is at the side of the path c ‘is at the level of the exterior here is a trick a helmet in the morning here with a very simple mechanism here that everyone knows
Is in the in the sea the ice here we see a tail string as soon as we pull above it makes it flutter and the fact of doing it Volt attracts other conspecifics so it attracts palms then we put it down normally S are supposed to be attracted it
Doesn’t work all the time eh the proof that this morning we l ‘saw the pigeon which serves as a step is helmeted so as not to be frightened by these comings and goings in the elevator you put it back on the eyes you
Put the tab a little behind ah they don’t really like it but hey the habit is that’ is that yeah it’s it’s it’s anyway it’s competitors anyway they know it they’re there for that otherwise it’s small weight right away that they know it so they’re not nice
Like that basically we show them the small weight box and that calms them down we go back to the cabin Dominique wants to brush aside a preconceived idea about woodpigeon hunting according to the despite the apau the rifles and the camouflage this activity does not has nothing to do with fair pigeon shooting
So I live to show the hunt of the day because a fridge there look VI anyway from the collar of the collar here are white feathers ch on the wing and then the collar there there then ramen hunting here you are this morning
With pant we were at the market here pant what to buy the things and all there is one here here is the hunt of the day and then there is nothing left in the sky good goodbye sea
To my Ségure the retro look from the cinema l’Eden fleurbond the screenings of westerns from the 50s so it was to give us a little wink that our new guide arranged to meet us there because Bob is precisely American but he is not the Far West
Of Hollywood which makes you dream but rather the sumptuous settings and the authenticity of the sea entrance C place where it remained normal there are winegrowers there are farmers there are people who sell c it’s not an area of high tourism and the coastline is Valon, the
Openings, the spaces and that there are plenty of things, I would say, among the beauties of the sea. Paron is full of beauty. Bob discovered the entrance to the sea 25 years ago now. it was love at first sight and since then this Yankee designer has become one of the best
Ambassadors, he even bought the ruins of the cas castle built in the 11th century It was here that he decided to live while respecting the authentic spirit of the place and here is our [Music] between us have we renewed the ruin no we have kept the ruin because precisely we are now registered on the list of the additional inventory of
Historical monuments and precisely when I filed the case before the DRAC I told them that it is a romantic ruin which we absolutely must keep because we know this image of the case as it is since the Revolution and it It’s true that it’s not a renovation of a
Ruin, it’s a reinforcement of a ruin so that it exists as people have known it in the area for hundreds of years today Bob has his entries practically everywhere like in this splendid private property of the castle of PUGE de jeansac located in the town of
Pelgru hello are you well you are fine if this beautiful day like that I am in the area I will stop by your place because what a marvel Véronique is the owner of this 13th century castle her residence has a decoration undoubtedly unique in the world which we owe to the former
Host of these places a Chinese artist named Kim Kangol come I will show you a painting of the Chinese which remains a wall painting he because the paintings there are zero eh ah yes you see that it’s an example all the pieces were like that each with a
Different pattern so you had the piece with flowers here next to you had the piece with the settlers this one we liked it the children love it so we kept it like that then it was very very well preserved and then next to it it is perhaps worth a look also there is
A fresco of him singing the mandolin to his wife that we kept on the bathroom wall ah yes so there you see they are still not sad he is playing the mandolin to his wife singing a lullaby that’s it we found that it was
Too much that we couldn’t not keep you see ah no plus the looks between them there are the faces of the youth of love here we have it from this garden of Eden here we have it
Fixed by a fresco artist Véronique and her husband have lived here for 20 years and like all lovers of old stones they ended up knowing the whole history of their castle today they no longer ignore anything of their predecessor’s life and in fact it was not bought
By the Chinese it was bought by the Chinese’s wife who was a rich American American who had fallen in love with a Chinese painter whom she had met in Paris in the basond of Montparnass we say and she decided to buy him a beautiful place
To inspire him so that he could paint and they lived there for him in any case 60 years since he died in 1992 in this house for Véronique the history of such a castle is inseparable from that of its inhabitants it is therefore quite naturally that she preserved the tomb
Of the Chinese and his beautiful American VO but he is there where he was there a there there she is there and he is there it is she sculpted by him who was in the niche in a niche at the entrance
Of the of the house and there it is him sculpted by himself who had installed himself at the top of the staircase of the spiral staircase of the beautiful spiral staircase that we dislodged to put him back
With her but are they foot to foot or head to head head ah that I don’t know not there the love story the sea entrance is full of sumptuous castles like that of Véronique and some
Of these estates are still in activity this is the case of that of Gachon property of the 17th century there you go we are entering the kingdom of prulon d’agin, Château Gachon in the country we have always grown the Dante plum, better known as pruneo d’agin, and that is
The specialty of another friend of Bob’s, hi Eric hi Bob hi how are you doing very well ah well you yourself still happy to be here so ah well until we get to the plum oven there is so
There we have a guest of choice there who doesn’t move much he us we are in the middle of the hunting season of course uh so hunted all night very gamey where there are quite a few hares wild boars
Of the ch ah it’s a beautiful specimen all the same then there are also the donkeys those we don’t eat them come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, then there you go without poup and Poupette ah you come hello
It’s the female who orders yes but yes it’s the female who orders him he suggests but and she has it good now that we know the dish of day and we greeted all the plum well here is the drying station the carpet family is the carpet FAM and occasionally
I can come with frozen pizzas that we put on it so that there it is no to put it simply, once harvested, the plums are put into this gigantic machine which will dehydrate to 80% in around twenty hours, this is how it is transformed into pruneo
D’agin and now I am going to show you the mats of taken out or it comes out cooked it comes out dehydrated then look here are the prunes if it’s clear enough what are they beautiful here 80% of the pruneo is bought in supermarkets 80% so casino houses
Promodest houses of Lecler houses in France Navar and now Europe when they buy prunes they buy 1000 tonnes 1500 tonnes I make them at let’s say 50 to 100 tonnes I can’t go and present that to the gentleman there are traders who
Group us all together and who make these thousands of tonnes who negotiate with these purchasing centers which are very very tough h well thank you eh and then it’s a great pleasure to see how you work I
‘m going to give you a prune because that’s what you can eat without moderation so give me more than one this is the case a successful trip between M it is also good addresses for the JIT and the cover once again Bob’s love for old stones is revealed of the most precious
, how beautiful is this fountain, it’s certainly not the same thing that we see in Paris eh look ah it’s not the same as in Paris that for Bob the former presbyère of the village of OROS converted into a house of Ô is the ideal place to meet nice people [Music]
Hello Julien very happy to be at your home Julien is French and Méane American like Bob a mixture which apparently really pleases the tourists who come to change of scenery between it’s my passion in fact to mix the two two cultures because I find the United States
And France there is a great love between the two countries we argue from time to time but we have a true love we have we have established contacts with American universities who love us a lot of Americans, English and also people from the region who come to take advantage of this
Charming and friendly little corner and that is the advantage of having a American hostess is that you are absolutely sure not to leave here on an empty stomach so we have French Toast made with brioche that I love so a little French American mix and also pancakes
That too is bacon but from the corner is the choice he wants breakfast so he we dish with dessomes of terrean also offers homemade muffin with the scent of good coffee and even maple syrup good very
Good m even American coffee it’s yes but it’s good coffee when Mrs. yes and the women but beyond all these sweets Bob is happy to note that some of his compatriots live up to the warm welcome he himself received in this
Excellent country it’s true that the experience that this Franco-American emity in a way is not for uh to live it is not to bring the United States with me here nor England or anything else it’s is not to find yourself in an English-speaking or American
Or other environment, it is to live in France and to immerse yourself and participate and enjoy if I can say so because it is so nice and the welcome of the French for us in any case uh and despite what a lot of Americans say besides that the French are snobbish he sulks
They are not welcoming I found exactly the opposite me too but with the right [Music] wine bye ah the par for Bob it is certain Hollywood can continue to flood French theaters with its films nothing will ever amaze him as long
As the cinema of the sea entrance well good end of session we are not really in the era of the sea to end this journey between M our last guide Patrice chose to meet us on the platform of Langon station because this railway line is inseparable from the history
Of one of the most famous French writers François moriac grand in love with this country in front of the eternal hello hello so you are the railway specialist yes and there we are at and we are going to see the sea entrance and Malagar Malagar res I do a little
Like him there that is – say that I arrived from Paris to change trains to Bordeaux and then he took the connection he bought perhaps southwest from elsewhere and then he took the connection to Langon and there was a car coming on [Applause ] search fine
Connoisseur of moriac Jean-Marie knows that the writer spent a good part of his childhood right next to Langon station in a large house which marked him forever it was the house of my paternal grandfather that he was he was trading in woods or woods which
Are used to make the Baris and he therefore had this house built which was a very large house on the outskirts of the guard this small town of Langon and that is what explains that this house is in such a disadvantaged situation, that is opposite the station and against
A railway track, for me moreover it was far from being a prosaic thing it was a source of extraordinary poetry this house which vibrated with all the trains, this is where the atmosphere of Génitrix came from, on the heights of the railway line,
The moriac family also owned the Malagar estate despite their Parisian life on success and his Nobel Prize for literature Moria who returned every year for the vend d’anges al so this line is indeed very old dates from 1850 and beyond agin
It went to montauas and Toulouse so moriac stopped at the station from Langon to reach by carriage at least at the beginning of the century his property in Malagar on this line there was not yet electricity but between the two wars actually in the 2030s and well
We could see and follow the trains thanks to the steam of the Malagar locomotives was in somehow the soothing retreat of the writer sometimes overstretched the beauty of these landscapes even inspired some of his most beautiful writings the blocks there are a certain number
Which were written here moreover they are marked Malagar which that he wrote precisely on the bench that we will see below from where he could contemplate the valley of the Garonne where there is the famous railway line which or there it is behind us so we have the between the sea
And in front of us we have the Landes which begins and the limit of the entrance is at the bottom there it is at the bottom it is the Garonne the railway line and the Garonne do the limit
Between the entrance sea and the Landes uh François moriaac had written a few words in his blocnes of which we have an extract there on a plaque too bad I dare to say what I think
It is the most beautiful landscape in the world in my eyes he speaks from the sea entrance thrilling fraternal these are the words he uses to describe this this this landscape where where he uh he meditated where he thought finally he admired in any case it nourished at certain times his his writing
[Music] too writers or artists the sea entrance has seen the growth of many other celebrities of French culture just 2 km from the Malagar area so dear to Moriac is for example that of Malromé also planted in a splendid setting of life
Hello welcome at the Château de Malromet estate renowned wine since the 16th century but above all the last known residence of the painter Henri Toulouse Larec everyone knows the work of Toulouse l’Autrec inspired by his passion for the hot nights of Paris his
Easy fill and his brothels but what we know less is that the artist went here every year to his mother’s magnificent castle, above all he lives here to recharge his batteries and escape a little from the hustle and bustle of Parisian life and the Malromé castle was an
Obligatory crossing point to greet his mother before taking up his summer quarters also on the Arcachon basin in the town of Tossat today all the decoration of the estate is dedicated to the artist the works on display are not that reproductions, some of which testify
To the frequent stays of [Music] Pimple it is the pH of a painting in the original is in the ALB museum but what is quite striking is to imagine that we is in the painting ultimately because we find the window fireplace which is already particular in itself but it is
An element of the painting that we find here the window fireplace and here the other window so all with a Louis _ _ ‘a drawing made in charcoal on the wall which is then not signed but is reputed to be attributed to enri tousutrec was
Discovered in 1950 during a change of tapestry it was adelle the artist’s mother who was involved in wine production, he was mainly content to taste it with his friends, it is said that he consumed hundreds of liters per year, a wine that is still produced today, we produce different vintages, the best known
Being the Château Malromé classic vintage with a visual which actually reminds us of the painter then we have a selection vintage which is called the adelle vintage simply in homage to D de tousutrec the great winemaker who
Actually managed the estate from 1883 to 1930 it was finally between the sea that enry de Toulouse lotrec died at only 37 years old in 1901 exhausted by his numerous excesses if you pass by there you can pay your respects at his grave in the cemetery of the small village of [Music]
Verdelay l The history of the entrance to the sea is therefore also that of these railway lines and the old stations which mark it like that of Mestéeux, for example a wine cooperative was established right next door, it is still active today. today and suddenly Bernard his
President dreams of transforming the old station into a museum good evening good I I Patrice before it gets dark I’m going to show you something quite exceptional it’s in its original state it’s more than in its original state eh be careful in its juice or rather in its wine because this little
Station did not only welcome travelers far from there but it was two mysterious trips were made the trips of the travelers of the passengers and as well as wine eh since it is not either by chance that this mstérieux cellar which is opposite the station was built here it is
To take advantage of the railway to bring the wine by barrel on these are the cellars which came next to the railway the truck being not developed enough at the beginning of the century the end of the 20th century it was the train which was used to transport wines and baries and
Bulk this proximity between cooperative and station proved particularly useful during the First World War during the war 14 the wine was requisitioned to feed the troops who were on the front so everything in the whole region as well saintr mysterious
Or montségure the wine was requisitioned for the for the French soldiers living encyclopedia of the railway history of the entred deer Patrice loves visiting small abandoned stations like these which would indeed make very beautiful museums. I am excited because in fact I
Find things that I had discovered through books, that is to say this beautiful poster which shows the railway P at midday, that is to say between 34 and 37 and there we have a more modern poster of the SNCF and which certainly suggested after the law of 1936 on the first paid leave
Which invite people to leave in Artou Arcachon or somewhere in dream regions and then this waiting room has wooden bottoms like in the 3rd class carriages if the train was a little late we sit down here it’s solid it has resisted the ravages of
Time and the quiich is right in its good condition since 1899 that’s the same the same colors please hello a ticket to Bordeaux I beg you if this trip is between you please know that there are still many stations which are just waiting to be restored to
Be transformed why not into a beautiful secondary residence [Music] moreover some have already decided to embark on the adventure it is the case of Jean in frontac hello Jean then this work hello Patrice ENF for 8 years soon soonh the goods Mar lquil bought this station I
Decided to renovate it identical to how it was at the beginning of the 20th century and it is with great pleasure that Patrice gives him a helping hand by digging up archives from the time in fact I found a photo of the Fononac guard in activity and there we see a superb
Locomotive on the trème track one 230 the stamp the umbrella shelter the travelers’ office and a lightning wagon so this photo interests me a lot because we see a magnificent clock which has disappeared today we no longer see it and and what I would like is to try is
To try to manage to recreate something that looks as close as possible to these clocks since a priori we will have difficulty finding it and putting it back in place but at least try to restore something that is as close as possible to the first things that I did when I
Bought this guy was discovering Patrice’s book and I saw this whole series of stations uh which uh which progressed from the save to my seriousness and in them visiting them I realized that ultimately they had suffered a lot and that over time
And particularly in the 20th century there had been too much transformation which meant that it lost a little bit of their nature there remained C foot which had a still a little bit of spirit so I
Said to myself it was an appointment that should not be missed and that we really had to do something to restore the soul that these stations had and then well it must be said that the people that we know in the neighborhood who are people we know they all have a grandfather
Who came here as a child to go to the city in Bordeaux to take the train which took hours so there is also a story of humanity and to bring back to life moments in people’s lives our getaway in entre de mers ends don’t forget between the Dordogne and
The Garonne this magnificent corner of France where life is good, both authentic and human is only 30 minutes from [Music] Bordeaux [Music]
