The history of Sept-Deniers (Toulouse) – France Bleu

Farewell-siatz to Totis! This morning in Qu'es Aquò, I tell you about the story of the Seven Deniers. Rugby fans and in particular supporters of the Rouge et Noir have perhaps forgotten that in the past / a cup era, when they did not want to see a rugby party, they did not go to Ernest Wallon at the time but rather at the Seven Deniers. Les Sept-Deniers, in a neighborhood of Tolosa (coma los autres!), a Toulouse neighborhood that has changed like the others. Besides, since Bèrta fialava (that is to say, a very, very long time ago, when “Berthe was spinning”, sacred Berthe), no accommodation but a brave ermàs. In other words, a vast moor…

But why this name: the Seven Deniers?

Well listen, here's the story: it's a story of Capitouls (you know, the first magistrates of the city of Toulouse). They decided to sell their right to graze (the right to graze), to several inhabitants of the pink city, at the annual price of 7 gold deniers (that's why this neighborhood is called the Seven-Deniers). Once upon a time, the world of the Seven-Pennies felt extreme (even in the last century!). In the past, the inhabitants of the Sept-Deniers felt left out, isolated (and even still in the last century!). A question: what is water?

Is it water?

And yes! And you can see that there are people from the Set-Denièrs who call it the day! Some residents have to fetch water from a standpipe (nearly around 200 meters, a vista de nas / there is one every 200 meters, approximately). We are then in the 1950s, and at that time, there was still no drinking water supply in certain streets of Sept-Deniers. But the history of this district is also linked to the former Job cigarette paper factory. Ara, is a cultural center / with today, the cultural center, Espace Job: bon diluns e bona setmana / have a good Monday and have a good week.
