Jours de Patrimoine

#1 Post by Headers »

For the first time in many years we took advantage of the JdeP.
We drove down to Eauze to visit the Roman museum and archeological dig.
Really interesting, there is potential for more digging but I think they’re lacking funds. Eauze is full of interesting ancient buildings.

There weren’t many people when we were there which is a shame.

The Romans had a great set up. Of course it relied on bullying the local population into submission and using slave Labour. Does this sound familiar?

I went to the SGVA* event. Equally not over crowded but that gave a good chance to discuss the work with the volunteers. Likewise they are constrained by cash availability.

* Sauvegarde et Gestion de Véhicules Anciens
