CrossRoads We celebrate some curious ancient monuments found in and around many local villages. Words & Photos: Roger Moss

www.livingmagazine.fr

A

peaceful stroll around a rural village cemetery can turn out to be a fascinating experience, often revealing surprising insight into local history and the lives of those who influenced it. The monuments to departed loved ones are often striking, but an altogether more mysterious feature can often be seen standing nearby, in the form of a croix hosannière. While they occasionally pop up elsewhere France, the greatest concentration of these intriguing monumental stone crosses is here in the south west, particularly in the former PoitouCharentes region. At first glance they share some similarities with lanternes des morts (to which we’ll be turning our attention


living architecture | 17

Moëze (17)

“The greatest concentration of these intriguing monumental stone crosses is here in the south west” when Halloween comes around again) but their intended purpose was very different. The name is thought to derive from l’hosanne – a sacred crown braided from slender young stems of buis (box), although they could also be sourced instead from fragon (‘Butcher’s Broom’), laurier (laurel) or olivier (the ever-present olives of Provence). The lovingly prepared crowns would then be blessed outside the church by the village priest before the assembled villagers, who then formed a procession to the specially-constructed cross. There they witnessed the crown being placed upon it as a symbolic gesture, accompanied by the words: “Hosanna au

plus haut des cieux!” (Hosanna in excelsis/ the highest). For centuries these now long-forgotten annual rituals lay at the very heart of the annual religious celebrations of le Dimanche des Rameaux. More frequently referred to in southern France as le Dimanche des Palmes, it is, of course, what we know as Palm Sunday. The crosses themselves are found in a variety of styles, and throughout the centuries many have undergone repairs which have altered their appearance slightly – in some cases to address the wanton desecration of religious monuments which occurred throughout France during the Revolution. Generally, however, the classic form consists of a monumental

Courcôme (16) stone cross up to 10 metres high and erected on a circular, stepped base although you’ll also come across much more ornate examples constructed from (or sculpted to suggest) clusters of smaller columns. The sheer scale of many of the plainer columns often creates considerable visual impact, the end result suggesting a curious 12th century vision of a rocket on a launchpad. Surmounting columns of all sizes will be the all important plain or sculpted holy cross, many of which bear a striking similarity to what we commonly refer to as a ‘Maltese Cross’. Exactly why this should be remains something of a mystery, but

The Sénat, at the Palais de Luxembourg, in Paris

rance recently voted to elect many of its Sénateurs, otherwise known as the nation’s parliamentary safeguards. These 348 men and women, local delegates representing people from every corner of the country, exist to keep the government in check, but they also stand for the rights and needs of the small towns and villages which they help run. Although the Députés of the Assemblée Nationale are voted in directly by the general public, Sénateurs are voted into their seats by the officials in power in the local area which they represent, for a period of six years. Half the Sénat ’s seats are up for election every three years, with many of our local départements participating in the recent Sénatoriales in September. “We are also known as the Chambre des Territoires,” explains Corinne Imbert, who has just been reelected as a Sénatrice for the département of Charente-Maritime (17). “The number of Sénateurs by département depends on the number of residents they represent, but all of us are here to defend our territory and

“The consequences of Brexit seem so difficult that I can’t just accept them blindly. I can’t help but feel concern for the British residents in my département, and I can only hope that the French administration will be considerate of those who have been here for so many years.” Corinne Imbert, sénatrice - Charente-Maritime (17)

“I am keenly aware of how attached British residents are to our territory. Many of them have an active role in the economic or associative life of our towns and villages. There are still many grey areas around Brexit and its consequences, but I would like to reassure the British people in the Périgord of my vigilance around this in the coming weeks.”

those who live there, even if they didn’t vote for us directly.” So, what exactly is the Sénat? Well, it’s an assembly of representatives, from every political family, who constitute the second Chambre of French Parliament. The Chambre Basse is what France calls the Assemblée Nationale (National Assembly) and the Chambre Haute, or Haute Assemblée is the Sénat (Senate) – which is why the word ‘bicamérisme’ is used in French politics to describe a Parliament having two legislative bodies. “I am very attached

to bicamérisme,” says Serge Mérillou, Sénateur of the Dordogne. “Often mocked and described as ‘useless’, the Sénat has shown in recent years its huge utility as a counter-power.” Which is not to say that the Sénat is anti-power – it is simply a mechanism that allows the State to question the decisions of the government in power at any given time. “Our Republic stands on two feet,” says Corinne Imbert, “and both are important to preserve the stability of our institutions.

he author’s preface to Le Petit Prince is in the form of a brief dedication to a friend, and includes the observation: “Toutes les grandes personnes ont d’abord été des enfants (mais peu d’entre elles s’en souviennent).” The notion that few grown-ups remember that they were once children underpins what amounts to a thought-provoking parable to help us reconnect with the things which matter most in our lives. Published with the author’s watercolour illustrations in war-torn 1943, Le Petit Prince clearly struck a chord, having so far clocked up worldwide sales in excess of 140 million copies. Over the years the remarkable life of the man behind this and a string of other big-selling titles has continued to captivate his readers. Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger de Saint-Exupéry’s family originated in

or near the village of Saint-Exupéryles-Roches (19), and their descendants eventually settled in Bordeaux, where success in the wine trade enabled them to purchase the Château Malescot in Margaux. When the phylloxera epidemic decimated the vineyards financial ruin forced Fernand, Comte de Saint-Exupéry to go into the insurance business in Le Mans. The eldest of his seven children was Antoine’s father Jean, who married Marie de Fonscolombe from Provence. The couple had five children by the time Jean suffered a

fatal stroke at the age of 41. Antoine’s own story begins in Lyon on 29 June 1900. Described as ‘turbulent and disorderly’, he invents family games, directs short plays and displays a natural talent for acting. ‘Tonio’ also writes verse, and shares his siblings’ love for animals, vowing never to go hunting. He also develops a fascination for machinery, particularly early ‘flying machines’. At the age of 12 he has his first flight (against strict instructions from his mother) at the aerodrome

Sweet Chestnuts flowering in the Ardèche

OUTDOORS

Fruit of theForest Winter wouldn’t be the same

without them, and in remoter areas of France chestnuts were for centuries an essential food resource

C

Could there be any more uplifting sensation during the otherwise bleak midwinter than the aroma of chestnuts slowly roasting on a log fire? Probably not, so we felt that it was high time we got into the spirit of the season with a timely celebration of chestnuts in France – as you’ll see, it’s a remarkable story, starting with the trees which bear the fruit. The Sweet Chestnut is unquestionably one of the most handsome of all the trees in the forest, and once established, and given the right location, they can be surprisingly productive. The fruits, known as marrons, are borne on un châtaignier, while un marronier produces inedible ‘conkers’ – and if you think that’s confusing, see our factfile panel for

www.livingmagazine.fr

more about the linguistic complexity surrounding our old friends, the chestnuts. France is Europe’s fourth largest producer of whole chestnuts, with almost 6,000 tonnes annually, to say nothing of what is processed into flour, biscuits, desserts, liquor, purée (crème de marrons) and other confections. Around 18% of French production originates from our own region, particularly the great forests of Limousin and Périgord. Ideally the trees prefer to grow at between 300 and 800m altitude, on a neutral or slightly acid soil but are obviously perfectly happy to develop their extensive root systems in our slightly alkaline soils. To prove the point, 18th century records tell us that chestnut forests covered around 40% of the Limousin and Dordogne landscapes,

and the chestnut remains the former’s regional emblem. Further south, le Périgord Noir has steadily increased the territory devoted to chestnut production, the new territories taking the form of more regimented orchard-style plantations which are much easier to manage. That includes the method of gathering the fruits – now larger producers can be spared the traditional back-breaking work of gathering them by hand from the forest floor. Instead they’re either collected by something resembling a mechanical road-sweeper, or fall from the trees onto long nets laid on the ground to catch the fruits, to be drawn like a conveyor-belt and dropped neatly into a trailer. They’re then transported for de-husking, cleaning, quality control (to remove any which show signs of insect attack) and packing.

To see more traditional chestnut forests at their most magnificent, however, it’s worth planning an autumnal trip further afield to southern France, where the transition from green to fiery reds and golds will take your breath away. The sheer scale of the vast, mature forests which fill the mountainous landscapes in and around the Cévennes and the Ardèche makes it hard to believe that much of what we’re seeing is in fact the result of man’s handiwork. While they were well known to travellers following the pilgrimage routes which passed through them, these remote areas weren’t viable for settlement. During the 10th century, however, the climate became less harsh, encouraging the establishment of village communities, whose food sources included fruit, vegetables,

HOME SWEET (COLOURFUL?) HOME It would be fair to say that most of us have spent much more time this year at home than normal....and for many of us the enforced lockdown gave us the opportunity to give our homes a little TLC. We ourselves did plenty of painting & decorating, especially during the early weeks, and decided to use strong, bold colours - not our normal style but perhaps it was a reaction to the situation we were in....an unconscious decision to lift the spirits! We are slowly seeing some more colour coming back into carpets too....not everything has to be grey or beige! Look at these 2 of our suppliers – Adam Carpets & Westex Carpets – literally hundreds of colours across their ranges, all available anywhere in France. If you want to see samples of these, or any other examples, give us a call and we’ll make a free, no obligation visit. Makes yours a HOME SWEET (COLOURFUL?) HOME this year!
