In 1966, Antoine recommended that he abandon the accordion in favor of the clarinet. On promotion at the CGR in Tarbes this Friday, November 29 for his film and book “Escales en Nouvelle-Zealand”, the adventurous navigator promises to pay tribute to his friend.
The decades pass, along with the misunderstandings, but the bonds remain like friendship. At four times twenty spring, and his shirts still as flowery, Antoine is always there to his friends from the sea. A VHF call, a call to discover the wonderful world of New Zealand, this Friday, November 29, at 2 p.m., at the CGR complex in Tarbes. The opportunity also, for Antoine, to pay tribute to his friend Yvette Horner.
This Friday, November 29, at 2 p.m., you will be at the Méga CGR in Tarbes to present both your film and your book “Escales en New Zealand”. A new version of Connaissance du Monde?
No. A need, a desire. The Knowledge of the World page has turned. With the CGR circuit, we (the speakers) moved on to something else. Hence our presence, with my partner Francette, this Friday, November 29 in Tarbes, at 2 p.m.
To evoke New Zealand, in film, in books and in photos?
Yes. You know my passion for sailing, and therefore discoveries. With my partner Francette, we fell in love with this part of the globe…
More ?
But, with the Covid, we remained “stuck” in Auvergne: we could no longer board our boat. Instead of lamenting, we thought about our best travel memories. And so the film, book, photos and videos of our memories of New Zealand were born. Which we will share with CGR spectators this Friday, November 29.
New Zealand, land of rugby like the southwest of France?
Yes. New Zealand almost became French, along the twists and turns of history. Moreover, in the documentary film, we discover a French people. And New Zealanders really like the French: except when they lose, in rugby!
“I will go and pay my respects at the grave of Yvette Horner”
“If I can put it that way, you couldn’t please me more!”
In 1966, the singer Antoine was considered the worst enemy of the Tarbes accordionist Yvette Horner. From the second verse, the long-haired Yéyé 68ard advised him to drop the accordion in favor of the clarinet, in “Les lucubrations d'Antoine”. His first big success.
Since then, many waters of the Adour River have flowed under the Marne bridge. “I am happy that you told me that she is buried in Tarbes. We had become great friends. I was still with her a few days before she disappeared. I will not fail to go and pay my respects at her grave , in Tarbes.”
