THE GREAT OUTDOORS One of France’s sunniest regions (with an average of 2,000 hours of sunshine eve- ry year), Midi-Pyrénées offers vast areas of countryside and an endless range of spectacular scenery such as the Tarn Gorges, the Aveyron Gorges, the Lot Valley, the Dordogne Valley, the high peaks of the Pyrenees, and more… With 30,000 km of waymarked footpaths, the Pyrenees National Park and 4 Regional Nature Parks, Midi-Pyrénées is the perfect destination for hiking, cycling, horse riding, white wa- ter sports, river tourism on the Canal du Midi and other waterways, plus skiing and snowsports in the Pyrenees. GREAT FIGURES THROUGH HISTORY Soulages, Toulouse-Lautrec, Champollion, Pierre-Paul Riquet, Jean-Auguste-Domi- nique Ingres, the aviation pioneers: a host of great figures from history have given Midi-Pyrénées an outstanding heritage that lives on today in what they have left behind. THE REGION’S GREAT PRODUCE AND EVENTS The home of Roquefort, foie gras, the Quercy black truffle, saffron and some hun- dred other quality-certified products, Midi-Pyrénées is also a land of vineyards that boasts 15 AOPs (Protected Designation of Origin wines) and a tradition of quality craftsmanship. What’s more, Midi-Pyrénées hosts around a hundred festivals, some of which are world-famous, such as the Jazz in Marciac festival, the Sylvanès Festival of Religious Music, and Rio Loco in Toulouse. THE GREAT TOURIST SITES IN MIDI-PYRÉNÉES Midi-Pyrénées owes its fame to 26 Great Tourist Sites known all over the world, inclu- ding Millau Viaduct, the Pic du Midi with its astronomical observatory, the Cirque de Gavarnie (a Unesco World Heritage Site), the great pilgrimage site of Lourdes, Albi and the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec, Cahors and the Pont Valentré, but also Conques, Rocamadour, Moissac, and a host of others… Toulouse, Canal des Deux Mers, Luchon, Saint Bertrand de Comminges – Valcabrère, The Ariège Collection (Niaux Caves, Mas d’Azil Caves, Saint Lizier, Foix, Montségur, Mirepoix), Rodez, Millau Viaduct, Conques, Villefranche de Rouergue – Najac, Auch, Marciac, Flaran-Baïse-Armagnac, Pic du Midi, Cauterets-Pont d’Espagne, Cirque de Gavarnie, Lourdes, Cahors, Rocamadour, Saint Cirq Lapopie – Pech Merle, Figeac, Dordogne Valley, Sorèze – Revel-Saint Ferréol, the source of the Canal du Midi, Albi, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Montauban and Moissac. 3 The Great Tourist Sites in Midi-Pyrénées Shining examples not only of Midi-Pyrénées' beauty and history but also of its desire to welcome visitors and show off its splendours, the 26 The only collection of its kind in Great Tourist Sites are the ambassadors of this fascinating and di - France verse region.

Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date March 21, 1968 - ABSTRACT - The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the principal challenges to royal authority and the means by which royal authority was maintained in France during the first War of Religion (1561-1563). The latter half of the sixteenth century was a critical period for the French monarchy. Great noble families attempted to re-establish their feudal power at the expense of the crown. Francis II and Charles IX, kings who were merely boys, succeeded strong monarchs on the throne. The kingdom was im• poverished by foreign wars and overrun by veteran soldiers, ill- absorbed into civil life.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships and Evolutionary History of the Dental Pattern of Cainotheriidae
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org A new Cainotherioidea (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) from Palembert (Quercy, SW France): Phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of the dental pattern of Cainotheriidae Romain Weppe, Cécile Blondel, Monique Vianey-Liaud, Thierry Pélissié, and Maëva Judith Orliac ABSTRACT Cainotheriidae are small artiodactyls restricted to Western Europe deposits from the late Eocene to the middle Miocene. From their first occurrence in the fossil record, cainotheriids show a highly derived molar morphology compared to other endemic European artiodactyls, called the “Cainotherium plan”, and the modalities of the emer- gence of this family are still poorly understood. Cainotherioid dental material from the Quercy area (Palembert, France; MP18-MP19) is described in this work and referred to Oxacron courtoisii and to a new “cainotherioid” species. The latter shows an intermedi- ate morphology between the “robiacinid” and the “derived cainotheriid” types. This allows for a better understanding of the evolution of the dental pattern of cainotheriids, and identifies the enlargement and lingual migration of the paraconule of the upper molars as a key driver. A phylogenetic analysis, based on dental characters, retrieves the new taxon as the sister group to the clade including Cainotheriinae and Oxacron- inae. The new taxon represents the earliest offshoot of Cainotheriidae. Romain Weppe.

  • Regards Sur Le Parc Nâ°7
    La détermination de la propriété et les règles de construction Les usages locaux ne sont conservés que dans la mesure où ils complètent les règles du Code civil et ils ne peuvent se substituer à celles-ci. Thème n°7 : Les usages juridiques locaux L'article 646 du Code civil prévoit que chaque propriétaire peut contraindre son voisin à borner leur propriété à frais communs. L'habitude de borner fut assez longue à entrer dans les mœurs, puisque des procès devant les juges de paix sur ce sujet dans le Parc naturel régional se sont multipliés par cinq entre 1803 et 1821. des Causses du Quercy Dans l'ensemble du département, pour planter une borne, on prend une grosse pierre de forme allongée que l'on place en terre jusqu'au deux tiers dans le sens de la ligne divisoire des propriétés. On casse ensuite en deux une pierre plate ou une brique (les témoins) et chaque morceau est mis au fond du creux de chaque côté de la pierre principale. Le droit romain dont dérivait le droit écrit avait pour principe de suivre le plus possible la situation naturelle des lieux. Le Code civil et le Code rural suivent le même cours considérant qu'il convient de contrôler toute intervention, en raison notamment du risque de captation des eaux ou Pour que toute société puisse vivre et se développer, il lui faut des règles, des codes. C'est le cas pour de changement dans leur écoulement. Les usages locaux ne présentent pas de règles particulières.
