The wedding celebrations have barely ended, life in the fields resumes its course

The Society of Natural, Archaeological and Historical Sciences of Creuse has chosen to devote number 5 of its Carnets de la Creuse to the three stages, bearers of strong traditions, in the life of Creuse peasants: birth, marriage, death.

The wedding celebrations have barely ended, life in the fields resumes its course, because the land does not wait…

But what the whole family is looking forward to is the first manifestation of conception in the bride…

The future birth was the subject of many beliefs

Guy Avizou, President of the Creuse natural, archaeological and historical sciences society, tells us
