After the fascinating volume 1 of “Saint-Christophe et Narthoux au fil du temps”, published in 2020, Thursday October 31 Christian Dalbiès will dedicate, from 4 p.m. in the village hall of Montirat & Saint-Christophe des Sébiès, the volume 2 prefaced by André Fabre, former professor of history and geography and current departmental councilor of the canton of Carmaux 2 Vallée du Cérou. For the author, viscerally attached to the town where he was born, this work is the culmination of many years of research in public or private archives, collection of testimonies, collection of photos and rare documents. Throughout the 276 pages, it addresses the life, over the last two centuries, of the inhabitants of this deeply rural territory of Ségala. Domestic progress with the arrival of electricity, running water, mechanization and fertilization of land associated with the development of the road network but also wars, epidemics and massive rural exodus which have changed many destinies. A real journey through time.
A precious book to offer for the end of year celebrations. It is published by the association “Reprebus memoire and heritage” and is on sale at the price of €25.
