How the countryside in France is changing
How is the countryside in France? Apparently, the countryside in France is facing some changes. Will the countryside in France change for the better or will it even get worse? A documentary about the countryside in the Loire region of France that is showing how people experience the new developments.
Living like a God in France is a saying applicable to vacationers in France, but absolutely not to the French themselves: to them, life is nothing but worrisome. They are facing high unemployment rates, fear of new terror attacks and an important political division. What is left of pillars that are the basis of the French republic: Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité? And what does it mean actually, to be French, today? Dutch Parisian Wilfred de Bruijn uncovers an intriguing country, full of contradictions, far away from the cliches we all know.
Wilfred de Bruijn looks in and around the town of Chinon in the Loire region where the local farmers are neck deep in debt: the grain price is so low that they need more and more land in order to sustain a living. But on the other hand, large companies like Elf (the oil giant) bought enormous tracts of land and set up their own vineyards. It's no wonder that there is a massive exodus to the big city amongst the children of the local farmers. Farmer's son Clement works in Paris for the television channel France 24, but his heart is still on the land he received from his parents. Together with his brother he planted truffle oaks on this land with the hope to live there in the future. Traditional farms become mega-companies, proud farmers become employees of investors, middle class closed down their shops, and village centers are dead while giant supermarkets are being erected outside built-up areas.

ISLANDE DE GLACE et de FEU
Ce diaporama est composé de photos prises en 2012, lors d'un voyage en Islande, je suis partie en avion avec un vol low cost, et j'ai parcouru ce pays merveilleux avec mon sac à dos, en utilisant les bus qui le sillonnent j'y est retrouvé mes amis. Tous ces paysages sont gravés dans ma mémoire, que démotions devant la puissance, la beauté et la pureté des éléments.
La distance qui nous sépare du monde subtil semble ici s'effacer.
La vie est partout, dans le cœur de ses volcans, recouverts de leurs glaciers pour calmer le feu qui les anime, dans ces cascades majestueuses qui charrient dans un grondement d'une puissance inouïe l'eau de la fonte des glaces, dans les fumerolles, dans ces geysers qui explosent en larmes brûlantes, et cette odeur de soufre qui vous envahit...
La nature y est en perpétuelle création.
Je tenais à remercier de tout cœur Est motorcycles qui a dynamisé ce voyage.
