Entre le Lot et la Dordogne - Emission intégrale
En montgolfière, au fil de l’eau ou à flanc de falaise, nous vous proposons ce soir un voyage entre Lot et Dordogne, sur des terres foulées dès la préhistoire.
Philippe Lagarde, maire des Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, se bat pour que la vallée de la Vézère soit labellisée Grand Site de France. Dans cette vallée, berceau de la civilisation européenne, l’abri Cro-Magnon a révélé le squelette du premier homme moderne, en 1868. Aujourd’hui, Philippe Lagarde mobilise les habitants de son village pour mettre en valeur les grottes et les abris sous roche. Il tente aussi de découvrir de nouvelles cavités préhistoriques.
Dans le Lot, au cœur du Haut Quercy, Rocamadour est une pépite du patrimoine français. C’est en montgolfière que nous découvrons son sanctuaire, un haut lieu de pèlerinage depuis le Moyen Age. Accroché à la falaise, Rocamadour nous révèle la beauté de ses chapelles et de sa basilique. Toujours en montgolfière, le vol se poursuivra jusqu’au château de Castelnau-Bretenoux, et aux magnifiques villages de Loubressac et Martel.
L’une des richesses de la Dordogne, c’est la profusion de ses toitures en lauzes. Denis Dodeman, architecte en chef des Monuments Historiques, veille à ce que ces couvertures en pierre soient restaurées dans les règles de l’art. Il nous offre l’occasion d’admirer le travail des artisans, sur le toit de la magnifique chapelle romane de Saint-Geniès, puis au sommet de l’extraordinaire cathédrale Saint-Front à Périgueux.

Places to see in ( Limoges - France ) Oradour sur Glane
Places to see in ( Limoges - France ) Oradour sur Glane
On 10 June 1944, the village of Oradour-sur-Glane in Haute-Vienne in Nazi-occupied France was destroyed, when 642 of its inhabitants, including women and children, were massacred by a German Waffen-SS company. A new village was built nearby after the war, but French president Charles de Gaulle ordered the original maintained as a permanent memorial and museum.
In February 1944, the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich was stationed in the Southern French town of Valence-d'Agen, north of Toulouse, waiting to be resupplied with new equipment and fresh troops. Following the D-Day invasion of Normandy in June 1944, the division was ordered north to help stop the Allied advance. One of its units was the 4th SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment (Der Führer). Its staff included regimental commander SS-Standartenführer Sylvester Stadler, SS-Sturmbannführer Adolf Diekmann commanding the 1st Battalion and SS-Sturmbannführer Otto Weidinger, Stadler's designated successor who was with the regiment for familiarisation. Command passed to Weidinger on 14 June.
Early on the morning of 10 June 1944, Diekmann informed Weidinger that he had been approached by two members of the Milice, a collaborator paramilitary force of the Vichy Regime. They claimed that a Waffen-SS officer was being held prisoner by the Resistance in Oradour-sur-Vayres, a nearby village. The captured officer was claimed to be SS-Sturmbannführer Helmut Kämpfe, commander of the 2nd SS Panzer Reconnaissance Battalion (also part of Das Reich division). He may have been captured by the Maquis du Limousin the day before. Stadler ordered Diekmann to have the mayor choose thirty people to be hostages in exchange for Kämpfe.
On 10 June, Diekmann's battalion sealed off Oradour-sur-Glane and ordered everyone within to assemble in the village square to have their identity papers examined. This included six non-residents who happened to be bicycling through the town when the SS unit arrived. The women and children were locked in the church, and the village was looted. The men were led to six barns and sheds, where machine guns were already in place.
According to a survivor's account, the SS men then began shooting, aiming for their legs. When victims were unable to move, the SS men covered them with fuel and set the barns on fire. Only six men managed to escape. One of them was later seen walking down a road and was shot dead. In all, 190 Frenchmen died.
The SS men next proceeded to the church and placed an incendiary device beside it. When it was ignited, women and children tried to escape through the doors and windows, only to be met with machine-gun fire. 247 women and 205 children died in the brutal attack. The only survivor was 47-year-old Marguerite Rouffanche. She escaped through a rear sacristy window, followed by a young woman and child.[3] All three were shot, two of them fatally. Rouffanche crawled to some pea bushes and remained hidden overnight until she was found and rescued the next morning. About twenty villagers had fled Oradour-sur-Glane as soon as the SS unit had appeared. That night, the village was partially razed.

Places to see in ( Bourges - France )
Places to see in ( Bourges - France )
Bourges is a city in central France known for its half-timbered houses. The grand, Gothic-style Bourges Cathedral features 13th-century stained-glass windows. Close by, the ornate Jacques Coeur Palace was the home of a 15th-century nobleman. Exhibits at the Musée du Berry include an Egyptian mummy, agricultural tools and Etruscan bronzes. Displays on evolution are among the highlights at the Natural History Museum.
Bourges is accessible by train from Paris Austerlitz in about 1 hour 45 minutes, or on the A71 motorway from Paris via Orleans. The cathedral of Saint Etienne, a UNESCO heritage site, dates from about 1200-1255. It's an exceptionally fine and most original work of French Gothic architecture, with double aisles and an immensely high nave. It has preserved almost all the original stained glass of its ambulatory, and some of the high windows of the choir. There are also some lovely later windows in the side chapels. The crypt and towers can be visited for an extra charge.
The Palais de Jacques Coeur was built from 1443-1450 by Jacques Coeur, the richest man in France and banker to Charles VII. It's a flamboyant work, highly decorated and punctuated by stair turrets and towers just like the castles in the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry - another Bourges inhabitant. The interior can only be visited on a guided tour, for which a charge is made.
The Marais, to the north of the historic centre, is an area of allotment gardens divided by canals. A walk all the way round will take you 2-3 hours and give you excellent views of the cathedral. Go at a weekend and you'll probably see some of the gardeners punting through the canals to their plots.
The whole city is full of lovely houses, some in half timber, others in the light stone that is characteristic of Bourges. Rue Bourbonnoux and Rue Coursalon are particularly worth visiting.
Palais des Echevins / Musee Esteve is another medieval mansion which borrows its vocabulary from the Palais Jacques Coeur, built 40 years earlier.
Musee de Berry - a free museum of local traditions, in another medieval mansion. Musee des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France - this museum, opposite the cathedral, displays works of craftsmanship which have been made for the MOF diploma. Currently (Jan 2007) it has a display of fine hand-made knives in the exhibition room. Free entry, and worth a look.
You can go to the 'Plan d'eau' which is an artificial lake to have a 6km-walk. It's also possible to use your bicycle or rollers around it on a lane separated from the road - it's relatively flat. In april, there is a music festival called 'Le Printemps de Bourges' where, during around 1 week, around 30 official concerts (prices varies) are given in the city (in several places, sometimes at the same time). The programme may be fetched in early March. During this period, most of the pubs and bars also have bands playing (for free) and the whole city gets a lot of animation.
