Sky Watch Friday ...... in Les Cévennes

Les Cévennes are the most beautiful part of this world, in my opinion. That is where I would love to live. Paradise on earth... The top photo, which I took last year on top of a hill in the Cévennes, shows a few members of Les Amis de la Mémoire Pédagogique, which is one of the most interesting associations I know. The lower photo just shows the sky there...

C'est dans les Cévennes que j'aimerais vivre. C'est le plus bel endroit du monde à mes yeux. Sur la photo du haut, on peut voir quelques membres de l'association montpelliéraine Les Amis de la Mémoire Pédagogique qui, comme son nom l'indique, "participe à la sauvegarde et à la mise en valeur de la mémoire pédagogique de l'Ecole publique" dans notre région. La photo ne montre que le ciel de ce paradis sur terre.

Galette des rois

Do you celebrate the Epiphany in your country? Here in France, we are supposed to celebrate it on January 6th but actually we eat the galette des rois until the end of January.

In the South, we eat "la couronne des Rois" (the Wise Men's crown), whereas in northern France, they eat a "galette à la frangipane" (almond paste). I live in the South but I was born in the North. I tend to find the galette à la frangipane better.

Yesterday I ate "la galette" with the members of an association called "Les Amis de la Mémoire Pédagoqique" (they are working on a new website, I will mention it on my blog as soon as it is online). My friend Ada was crowned queen!
