26 watercolorists and 27 authors
To produce this work, the association succeeded in bringing together to talk about this little piece of country no less than 26 watercolorists and 27 authors who all evoke the history and charms of this part of Béarn with its very particular features. Note the rich bibliography which shows that much has already been written on the subject!
The watercolors illuminate the texts which speak as much about the fauna as the flora or the local heritage and traditions, and also leave the floor largely to the inhabitants who speak of their professions, their hopes, and their uprooting. also sometimes.
A great way to explore a country that's not so lost!
