The Caussade Accueil association, chaired by Marie-Claude Balloux, organized, last Thursday, an outing in Sorèze, in Tarn, in which nearly forty members participated. This discovery day began with a visit to the Don Robert museum, one of the masters of contemporary tapestry. In 1941, his meeting with Jean Lurçat, impressed by his illuminations and watercolors, decided his destiny as a cardboard painter. His abundant, colorful work is inspired by nature and exalts the fauna and flora of the Montagne Noire. The museography, respectful of its architectural setting, allows us to understand the process of creating a tapestry, from the preparatory drawing to the completed work, and to pay tribute to the know-how of the Aubusson weavers, classified by UNESCO as a heritage site. intangible cultural heritage of Humanity since 2009. This was followed by a visit to the Benedictine abbey school, founded in 754, at the foot of the Black Mountain, which owes its fame to the innovative teaching method that it had implemented. place from the 17th century, until its closure in 1991. It was established, under Louis XVI, as a Royal Military School and welcomed within its walls students from all parts of the world. Many personalities have frequented its benches: writers, academicians, scientists, soldiers, artists. After the lunch break, the day ended with a visit to the glass museum, unique in its kind, installed in the former hospice of the town built under Charles 17th to 19th centuries and the blue-green glassware of Languedoc.
