  • Fiche Synoptique-GARONNE-En DEFINITIF
    Synopsis sheets Rivers of the World The Garonne and the Adour-Garonne basin The Garonne and the Adour-Garonne basin The Garonne is a French-Spanish river whose source lies in the central Spanish Pyrenees, in the Maladeta massif, at an altitude of 3,404 m. It flows for 50 km before crossing the border with France, through the Gorges du Pont-des-Rois in the Haute-Garonne department. After a distance of 525 km, it finally reaches the Atlantic Ocean via the Garonne estuary, where it merges with the river Dordogne. The Garonne is joined by many tributaries along its course, the most important of which are the Ariège, Save, Tarn, Aveyron, Gers, Lot, and others, and crosses regions with varied characteristics. The Garonne is the main river in the Adour-Garonne basin and France’s third largest river in terms of discharge. par A little history… A powerful river taking the form of a torrent in the Pyrenees, the Garonne’s hydrological regime is pluvionival, characterised by floods in spring and low flows in summer. It flows are strongly affected by the inflows of its tributaries subject to oceanic pluvial regimes. The variations of the Garonne’s discharges are therefore the result of these inputs of water, staggered as a function of geography and the seasons. In the past its violent floods have had dramatic impacts, such as that of 23 June 1875 at Toulouse, causing the death of 200 people, and that of 3 March 1930 which devastated Moissac, with around 120 deaths and 6,000 people made homeless.

  • The Demarcation Line
    No.7 “Remembrance and Citizenship” series THE DEMARCATION LINE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE General Secretariat for Administration DIRECTORATE OF MEMORY, HERITAGE AND ARCHIVES Musée de la Résistance Nationale - Champigny The demarcation line in Chalon. The line was marked out in a variety of ways, from sentry boxes… In compliance with the terms of the Franco-German Armistice Convention signed in Rethondes on 22 June 1940, Metropolitan France was divided up on 25 June to create two main zones on either side of an arbitrary abstract line that cut across départements, municipalities, fields and woods. The line was to undergo various modifications over time, dictated by the occupying power’s whims and requirements. Starting from the Spanish border near the municipality of Arnéguy in the département of Basses-Pyrénées (present-day Pyrénées-Atlantiques), the demarcation line continued via Mont-de-Marsan, Libourne, Confolens and Loches, making its way to the north of the département of Indre before turning east and crossing Vierzon, Saint-Amand- Montrond, Moulins, Charolles and Dole to end at the Swiss border near the municipality of Gex. The division created a German-occupied northern zone covering just over half the territory and a free zone to the south, commonly referred to as “zone nono” (for “non- occupied”), with Vichy as its “capital”. The Germans kept the entire Atlantic coast for themselves along with the main industrial regions. In addition, by enacting a whole series of measures designed to restrict movement of people, goods and postal traffic between the two zones, they provided themselves with a means of pressure they could exert at will.

  • Châteaux, Rivers, and Wine a River Cruise in Aquitaine France September 18-26, 2020
    Châteaux, Rivers, and Wine A River Cruise in Aquitaine France September 18-26, 2020 Join your friends from New England Church and Viking River Cruises as we discover the ports, vineyards, farms and forests of Aquitaine, once Europe’s richest kingdom. See Bordeaux’s fountains and cellars. Hear about the importance of truffles in Périgord, then taste them in a home-cooked meal. Optional tours offer you an opportunity to create your own personal blend of Cognac at the Camus distillery or sa- vor France’s finest oysters fresh from the bay at Arcachon. Sip Saint-Émilion, Médoc and Sauternes in their own terroir on a 7-day cruise through Bordeaux—a region synonymous with fine wine and finer liv- ing. Friday, September 18 — Chicago We board the coach to O’Hare to fly to Bordeaux. Saturday, September 19—Bordeaux We are met at the airport and taken to our ship. The rest of the day is ours to relax or explore Bordeaux on our own. Second only to Paris in French historic monuments, Bordeaux’s thoughtfully preserved 18th-century urban areas make it a desirable film location, and its graceful port on the Garonne River is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Later this evening, we may want to join an escorted evening walk of Bordeaux. While its monuments are beautiful during the day, they are stunning at night. (D) Sunday, September 20 — Bordeaux We tour the city center this morning and see some of Bordeaux’s highlights, listed below. Later this afternoon, we sail upstream along the Garonne River to Cadillac, a small town with a towering castle that gave its name to the American car brand.
