Between architectural discoveries, natural heritage and gourmet pleasures, the Sud-Aveyron unveiled its multiple facets in the JT of France 2, this Friday, January 24.
The 1 p.m. newspaper from France 2 devoted, this Friday, January 24, a long sequence in Millau and the Sud-Aveyron. A real immersive journey entitled “The breath of Aveyron” and proposed by journalist Muriel Lassaga and the French Télévisions teams.
To open this beautiful report, what could be more spectacular than the Millau viaduct? This steel and concrete giant, which seems to float between heaven and earth, celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year. But the journey does not stop there with an enchanting detour to discover a more confidential treasure, nestled in the woods.
A spiritual stop at the Russian chapel of Sylvanès
Completely built in wood, the Russian chapel of Sylvanès is a parenthesis of authenticity and serenity. Imported in the 1990s, it rises in the heart of the Aveyron landscape with its timeless charm. Each month, an Orthodox priest animates a liturgy there, offering a spiritual touch to this unique place. However, this jewel is threatened today: insects attack its fragile framework, stressing the urgency of preserving this atypical heritage.
Millau: between sport, nature and traditions
Back in Millau, direction the Pouncho d'Agast which overlooks the city of the Glove. A true paradise for outdoor lovers, this natural setting attracts enthusiasts of racing, bicycle and paragliding. In the shade of the summits, another tradition is perpetuated: that of Flaune, a typical delicacy of South Aveyron.
-It is Sami Al Jaza, talented craftsman of the Pastry Saint-Jacques, who delivers here the secrets of this local specialty on the Place du Mandarous. Already a finalist of the best bakery in France, the young man highlights this pie with fresh sheep cheese and the subtle scent of orange blossom.
This report also highlights other regional treasures, such as the abbey of Sylvanès, a place of tranquility and sacred music, or the Rougier de Camarès, with its breathtaking glowing landscapes. Without forgetting the unique know-how of the Millavoise Ganterie in the workshops of the Fabre house, symbol of elegance and tradition.
The report can be found in replay in this 13 -hour newspaper on the France Télévisions website (it starts at 29 minutes and 25 seconds)
