A key personality in the small Occitano-Rouergat universe, Christian Pierre Bedel is anchored in West Aveyron. Better still, he was a pioneer in leading, with the department of Aveyron, the vast collection operation called “Al Canton” with at the end, kilometers of soundtracks, well before the time for Poadcasts came, thousands of photos, notebooks filled with notes on living heritage from oral memory. Seen as a reference, “Al Canton” has spread to neighboring departments like Tarn-et-Garonne where Christian-Pierre Bedel carried out a similar operation under the leadership of the president of the departmental community Jean-Michel Baylet. With incredible archives, and in particular thanks to the time given to him by retirement, he now hosts a number of conferences and other discussions around various themes. During the opening of the Governor's House in Najac he often found himself on the front line. At the beginning of November, at the invitation of the Fouilladaise Culture-Patrimoine association, he will host a conference linked to the current events of the commemoration of November 11 around the theme of the Poilus Aveyronnais in 1914-1918. This is announced for this Tuesday, November 5 and will take place at 2:30 p.m., the conference room of the La Fouillade Media Library Free entry Information on 06 44 80 38 91.
