Zzzzzooooom Medoc – long live inter-generation working!
Yes, we have Zoom, the conference search engine, and enough friends and acquaintances to give a quick briefing. Furthermore, our contacts with
German and French people, ready to take part in an adventure like this, caused no problem either. Finally, as luck would have it, we found a
receptive ear for this event at the German Consulate in Bordeaux in the shape of the Countess von Roedern, the Consul General herself...

A little freedom at Le Gurp
Yesterday was special. After almost a month of lockdown we regained a bit of freedom. We had only been allowed to go out for a walk or for
any form of physical exercise within 1km from home and for a maximum of 1 hour. This has now been extended to 3 hours and 20km. That makes

Frontstalag 221
Yesterday I was walking my dog in a part of the village that I had never been to before. And there …. I noticed, 50 metres away, and near to
a roundabout that I frequently pass in the car, a stele that I had never noticed. Of course I went to have a look at it and I learnt something

Edible wild plants in Médoc gardens
On the 31st July, within the framework of La table européenne, Médoc-Actif and La maison d'Artemis invited Laurence Dessimoulie. After a
brief outline art of her way of cooking and her approach to the flora of the Médoc, Laurence invited each one of us to discover the wild
plants in our own gardens: their gustative, nutritional and sometimes even curative values...
