  • Atlas De L'eau Des Vallees Des Gaves
    ATLAS DE L’EAU DES VALLEES DES GAVES Document réalisé par le Syndicat Mixte pour le Développement Rural de l’Arrondissement d’Argelès - Gazost Août 2007 Introduction La réalisation de l’Atlas de l’Eau des Vallées des Gaves, déclinaison de l’Atlas de l’Eau des Hautes-Pyrénées réalisé par la MISE en janvier 2004, répond à une volonté du Groupe d’Action Locale LEADER + de regrouper et de divulguer les connaissances liées à la ressource en eau à l’échelle du territoire, dans le cadre de son projet de coopération avec l’Espagne intitulé « L’Eau : un patrimoine naturel, économique et touristique ». Omniprésente et abondante en Vallées des Gaves, l’eau a donné son nom à ce territoire de montagne situé en tête de bassin versant : le nom de « gave », que l’on retrouve dans le Midi ou en Gascogne, désigne un cours d’eau, un torrent, une rivière. En latin gabarrus, il proviendrait d’un radical pré-celtique gaba signifiant probablement rivière encaissée, et traduit par là même la configuration topographique du territoire. Elément indissociable et structurant du paysage pyrénéen, pilier économique de nos vallées avec l’essor du thermalisme dès le 19è siècle, l’eau est souvent perçue comme une ressource inépuisable sur notre territoire. Inépuisable ? Rappelons que chaque goutte d’eau qui tombe du ciel est restituée d’une manière ou d’une autre à l’atmosphère. C’est le principe même de son cycle. Or aujourd’hui, si l’on ne peut pas accroître la quantité d’eau dont on dispose, les besoins, eux, augmentent.

  • About Fanjeaux, France Perched on the Crest of a Hill in Southwestern
    About Fanjeaux, France Perched on the crest of a hill in Southwestern France, Fanjeaux is a peaceful agricultural community that traces its origins back to the Romans. According to local legend, a Roman temple to Jupiter was located where the parish church now stands. Thus the name of the town proudly reflects its Roman heritage– Fanum (temple) Jovis (Jupiter). It is hard to imagine that this sleepy little town with only 900 inhabitants was a busy commercial and social center of 3,000 people during the time of Saint Dominic. When he arrived on foot with the Bishop of Osma in 1206, Fanjeaux’s narrow streets must have been filled with peddlers, pilgrims, farmers and even soldiers. The women would gather to wash their clothes on the stones at the edge of a spring where a washing place still stands today. The church we see today had not yet been built. According to the inscription on a stone on the south facing outer wall, the church was constructed between 1278 and 1281, after Saint Dominic’s death. You should take a walk to see the church after dark when its octagonal bell tower and stone spire, crowned with an orb, are illuminated by warm orange lights. This thick-walled, rectangular stone church is an example of the local Romanesque style and has an early Gothic front portal or door (the rounded Romanesque arch is slightly pointed at the top). The interior of the church was modernized in the 18th century and is Baroque in style, but the church still houses unusual reliquaries and statues from the 13th through 16th centuries.

Les « Rendez-vous en famille » sont nés pour permettre aux habitants du territoire Plaines et Vallées de Bigorre d’avoir accès à une saison culturelle de proximité tout au long de l’année, et non uniquement en période estivale. Une belle manière de prouver qu’une offre culturelle de qualité trouve toute sa place en milieu rural ! L’objectif de ce projet est de permettre aux enfants dès le plus jeune âge et leur famille de se positionner en tant que spectateurs et d’aller à la rencontre des lieux culturels présents sur le territoire. Le contenu de cette programmation pluridisciplinaire décentralisée sur le territoire, de proximité, a été pensé afin de favoriser la découverte et de permettre aux familles de partager de beaux moments en- semble. Suite au succès des deux premières éditions, nous avons souhaité renouveler ce projet, en vous proposant de nouveaux rendez-vous colorés qui plairont aux petits comme aux grands : musique, théâtre, cirque, danse, marionnettes… Cette troisième saison se place sous le signe de la découverte. Nous vous souhaitons une très belle saison ! LES PARTENAIRES les associations Jazz Pyr, Maynats et Champs d’Expression, la Maison du Parc national et de la vallée de Luz-Saint-Sauveur et les villes de Bagnères-de-Bigorre, Cauterets et Lourdes.
