It will feature an exceptional collection of 15,000 pieces, including 1,000 tombstones. The stone collection will be displayed in a spectacular way in the form of a large "wall" with 1700 blocks and fragments. The collec- tion of Roman murals discovered in Le Clos de la Lombarde (a rich Roman house in the city) is a chance for visitors to see all aspects of the Roman city: the urban layout, its mo- numents and population, the necropolises, the house and interior decoration, the har- bour and its activities. https://musees-occitanie.fr/musees/nar- bo-via/infos-pratiques 6 OTHER EVENTS LINKED TO IN 2020 NEW ANCIENT ROME GARD...

  • Millet Oppidum English
    Château de Millet just situated outside the town of Eauze in the Gers. Devoted to mixed farming and the production of Armagnac, the estate today has 50 hectares of vines for the production of Côtes de Gascogne wines « Domaine de Millet ». The vines enjoy a north westernly position on the green hills of Eauze where the soil alternates between clay limestone and the sandy soils known as 'sables fauves'. Francis Dèche, the proprietor, who follows in the footsteps of five generations has a policy of quality : traditional grape varieties, vineyard cultivation with respect to the environment and constant development in the methods and means of vinification. With his daughter Laurence, who joined him in 1999, they sell a full and varied range that are just waiting to be discovered ! At Millet, the land and its relief tells a story of the history of man . The ruins of a pre-roman oppidum, the currencies and the amphoras discovered near to the vineyard are witnesses of the past. Before building the town of st Elusa in the 1 Century of this era, known today as Eauze, the Elusate people that lived here, learnt how to cultivate vines and appreciate wine from the Romans. OPPIDUM 2007 50% chardonnay, 50% sauvignon The vinification The two grape varieties are vinified separately then blended together and kept in tanks for 6 months. This wine is very original in style with a multitude of nuances that merge to give a surprising floral and spicy flavour . Tasting Notes -White mid dry wine, light in colour with golden yellow highlights -Intense and seductive bouquet with a concentration in floral notes, exotic fruits and soft spice.

    , PRÉFECTURE DU TARN P LAN DE P REVENTION DES R ISQUES NATURELS PREVISIBLES Révision du plan de prévention du risque inondation du bassin versant du SOR Bilan de la concertation octobre 2018 DIRECTION DEPARTEMENTALE DES TERRITOIRES DU TARN Service Eau, Risques, Environnement et Sécurité – Bureau de Prévention des Risques Généralités : La concertation publique relative à la révision d'un plan de prévention du risque inondation (PPRi) a été introduite par la loi du 30 juillet 2003. Ses modalités définies par le préfet (article L562-3 du code de l'environnement) sont précisées dans l'arrêté de prescription joint en annexe 1 (article R562-2 du même code). La concertation est un processus réglementaire obligatoire dans l'élaboration de tout plan de prévention des risques. Elle consiste en un dialogue entre les autorités chargées de l'élaboration du plan et toutes les personnes intéressées par celui-ci. Ce dialogue est l'occasion pour l'État de sensibiliser et d'informer le public au sujet des risques et des plans de prévention mis en place pour les prévenir. Il permet généralement d'aboutir à une meilleure maîtrise collective du risque, ce qui est l'objectif recherché par l'État. En retour, les citoyens pourront par le biais des informations récoltées, poser des questions aux autorités en charge de l'élaboration du PPR et éventuellement émettre des remarques. Ils pourront ainsi apporter leur concours au travail en cours, ou être à l'origine de corrections sur celui déjà effectué. Le but est d'aboutir à un plan de zonage réglementaire du PPRi le plus précis et le mieux appréhendé possible.

  • League of the Public Weal, 1465
    League of the Public Weal, 1465 It is not necessary to hope in order to undertake, nor to succeed in order to persevere. —Charles the Bold Dear Delegates, Welcome to WUMUNS 2018! My name is Josh Zucker, and I am excited to be your director for the League of the Public Weal. I am currently a junior studying Systems Engineering and Economics. I have always been interested in history (specifically ancient and medieval history) and politics, so Model UN has been a perfect fit for me. Throughout high school and college, I’ve developed a passion for exciting Model UN weekends, and I can’t wait to share one with you! Louis XI, known as the Universal Spider for his vast reach and ability to weave himself into all affairs, is one of my favorite historical figures. His continual conflicts with Charles the Bold of Burgundy and the rest of France’s nobles are some of the most interesting political struggles of the medieval world. Louis XI, through his tireless work, not only greatly transformed the monarchy but also greatly strengthened France as a kingdom and set it on its way to becoming the united nation we know today. This committee will transport you to France as it reinvents itself after the Hundred Years War. Louis XI, the current king of France, is doing everything in his power to reform and reinvigorate the French monarchy. Many view his reign as tyranny. You, the nobles of France, strive to keep the monarchy weak. For that purpose, you have formed the League of the Public Weal.
