  • CANAL DU MIDI BIKE 8 Night I WANT IT ALL 2021
    DETOURS IN FRANCE www.detours-in-france.com CANAL DU MIDI BIKING EXPLORE FRANCE AT YOUR OWN PACE Day 1: Arrival in Toulouse Upon your arrival in Toulouse, settle in to your hotel and freshen up, and then take some time to explore this lovely city. The capital of both the French department, and the larger Midi-Pyrenees Region, Toulouse is also the heart of Europe’s aerospace industry, home of both France’s Airbus Company and also a great attraction park, the Cité de l’Espace. Its world renowned university is one of the oldest in Europe (founded in 1229), and it was already the capital of the Visigoth Kingdom in the 5th century! A city with unique architecture made of pinkish terracotta bricks, earning it the nickname la Ville Rose ("the Pink City"), Toulouse counts two UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Canal Du Midi, and the Basilica of St. Sernin, which lies on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route. Day 2: Toulouse to Castelnaudary 66 Km / 41 Miles You have a long, but easygoing ride today, as it is very flat, and almost completely on lovely, paved bike path. Pass your first locks and canal projects on route to the small town of Castelnaudary, built on the foundations of the original Roman town. It is hard to imagine the centuries of warfare incurred here, as you wander the lovely small streets, eventually loved by Catherine de Medicis, when, as King Henri II’s wife, she becomes Countess of the region. The port here is developed as one of the main stops for barges on the Canal du Midi’s route, with a large (7 hectare) water basin.

Ils avaient alors été présentés par la Cellule inter-régionale d’épidémiologie Languedoc-Roussillon (Cire LR) (actuellement cellule régionale Occitanie de Santé publique France), à la Commission locale d’information (CLI) du 19 février 2007, pour appui à la prise de mesures de gestion. Le contenu de ce rapport est en tout point identique au document qui avait été transmis à la Drass en 2007. Résumé Évaluation des conséquences sanitaires de la pollution d’origine industrielle de la région de Salsigne (Aude) Enquête de mortalité par cancers : actualisation 1968-2003 Une comparaison des données standardisées de mortalité par cancer entre la zone exposée et une zone témoin du département de l’Aude présentant des caractéristiques similaires a été effectuée en 1998 et réanalysée en 2001. Les comparaisons ont également été réalisées avec les résultats de la France entière. L’étude a été menée pour l’ensemble de la mortalité par cancer, ainsi que pour chacune des localisations des tumeurs (période d’étude : 1968 à 1994). Les résultats ont montré en zone exposée un excès de risque tous cancers et cancers respiratoires, ainsi qu’un excès de cancers digestifs chez les femmes en zone exposée.

  • Love and War: Troubadour Songs As Propaganda, Protest, and Politics in the Albigensian Crusade
    Love and War: Troubadour Songs as Propaganda, Protest, and Politics in the Albigensian Crusade By Leslee Wood B.A., University of Utah, 2003 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. _________________________________________ Chair: Roberta Schwartz, PhD _________________________________________ Paul Laird, PhD _________________________________________ Bryan Kip Haaheim, DMA Date Defended: May 25, 2017 The thesis committee for Leslee Wood certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Love and War: Troubadour Songs as Propaganda, Protest, and Politics in the Albigensian Crusade ___________________________________________ Chair: Roberta Schwartz, PhD Date approved: May 25, 2017 ii Abstract: From the eleventh through the thirteenth century, the troubadours flourished in the Occitan courts of southern France. As the artistic and political voices of their culture, these men and women were educated, creative, and well-placed to envoice the cultural and political events of their time. In 1208, Pope Innocent III launched the Albigensian Crusade against the pervasive Cathar sect, which had attracted followers from every stratum of Occitan society, including believers from the most important ruling families. For twenty years, the crusade decimated the region and destroyed the socio-political apparatus which had long supported, and been given voice by, the troubadours and trobairises. By the end of the war in 1229, the Occitan nobility were largely disinherited and disempowered, unable to support the kind of courtly estates to which they had been accustomed and in which the art de trobar had flourished. Many troubadours were involved both politically and militarily in the crusade and their lyric reactions include astute political commentaries, vigorous calls-to-arms, invectives against the corruption of the Catholic clergy and the French invaders, and laments for the loss of both individuals and institutions.

  • France: Route of the Cathars, Tailormade by Car 17/01/2021 1
    France: Route of the Cathars, tailor­made by car An exciting journey into the past through Toulouse, Carcassonne, Albi and the magnificent Cathar Castles The sun­kissed southwest of France, cradle of the Cathar religion, beholds a fascinating past. The "Route of the Cathars" takes the traveller on a thrilling adventure into the past, visiting the places frequented by followers of Catharism, a religion created by group of Christians whose behaviour was far from the opulence of the Church of that time, and who were given shelter by knights in their beautiful châteaux, the last bastions against the violent persecution of Pope Innocent III. The Route visits dreamlike castles perched on sheer cliffs, many of them open to the public, inviting you to let your imagination run free while touring this stunning region blessed by nature. Take your time to discover unique places such as the Abbey of Fontfroide and fascinating castles such as Aguilar, Peyrepertuse, Quéribus, Puilaurens, and the four Cathar Castles of Lastours. Most of the fortifications are in ruins today, but it's easy to imagine them in their role as zealous protectors of the peace. The Route of the Cathars is designed to be experienced at the wheel, enjoying every step of the way. Straddling both sides of the road are vineyards and sunflower fields; multicoloured landscapes dotted with cypress, pine and boxwood trees; and quaint villages and medieval towns that have been protected by solemn strongholds for many centuries. The route runs through historic towns such as the fortified Carcassonne (World Heritage Site by UNESCO), the vibrant and cultural Toulouse, and the artistic and stylish Albi (also World Heritage Site by UNESCO).

  • 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.
