Le dimanche, nous allons au village pour nous approvisionner, la plupart des commerces sont ouverts. Sur la colline en face se trouve le Revest-St-Martin, un charmant village avec des tables \u00e0 pique-nique, bien s\u00fbr, mais il fait 4\u00b0C et le vent souffle\u00a0: une promenade rapide nous suffit. Comme en d\u00e9cembre \u00e0 Vieux-Noyers, nous longeons un cimeti\u00e8re abandonn\u00e9\u00a0: pour d\u00e9crire l\u2019exode rural, cela me parle autant que la litt\u00e9rature de Giono. Pauvres morts oubli\u00e9s, je leur fais une petite place ici sans rien conna\u00eetre de ces existences disparues\u2026<\/strong>

On Sunday, we go to the village to stock up, most shops are open. On the hill opposite there is Revest-St-Martin, a charming village with picnic tables, of course, but it’s 4\u00b0C and the wind is blowing: a quick walk is enough for us. As in December in Vieux-Noyers, we walk along an abandoned cemetery: to describe the rural exodus, it speaks to me as much as the literature of Giono. Poor forgotten deaths, I make room for them here without knowing anything about these vanished existences\u2026<\/strong>

Nous avons rep\u00e9r\u00e9 les march\u00e9s dans les environs, lundi c\u2019est \u00e0 Forcalquier que nous allons. Il faut longtemps pour en faire le tour complet, le temps, nous l\u2019avons. Jubilation\u00a0: nous sommes pass\u00e9s au travers des mailles du filet (nous sommes de mauvais Fran\u00e7ais), nous avons \u00e9vit\u00e9 une vaccination qui m\u2019effraie toujours et ne m\u2019inspire aucune confiance, et aujourd\u2019hui, c\u2019est le grand jour, nous mangeons au restaurant\u00a0! La patronne est toute contente de nous l\u2019entendre dire. Quelques heures plus tard, la dame qui nous vend nos billets d\u2019entr\u00e9e pour visiter le prieur\u00e9 de Salagon<\/a> est tout aussi contente, autant pour nous que pour elle, enfin \u00e0 visage d\u00e9couvert\u2026<\/strong>

We spotted the markets in the area, on Monday we are going to Forcalquier. It takes a long time to go all the way around it, time, we have it. Jubilation: we slipped through the cracks (we are bad French people), we avoided a vaccination which still scares me and inspires no confidence in me, and today is the big day, we eat at the restaurant! The maid is very happy to hear us say it. A few hours later, the lady who sells us our entrance tickets to visit the priory of Salagon<\/a> is just as happy, as much for us as for her, finally with her face uncovered\u2026<\/strong>

Nous nous int\u00e9ressons bien plus aux jardins remarquables qu\u2019aux b\u00e2timents de ce prieur\u00e9, m\u00eame si le printemps n\u2019est pas encore install\u00e9. Quarante jours sans pluie, \u00e7a retarde l\u2019\u00e9closion des fleurs.<\/strong>

C\u2019est seulement arriv\u00e9e l\u00e0 que je d\u00e9couvre tout \u00e0 la fois ces jardins, et la pr\u00e9sence proche d\u2019un homme qui a jou\u00e9 un grand r\u00f4le ici. Wikip\u00e9dia nous rappelle que Pierre Lieutaghi est \u00ab\u00a0concepteur des jardins ethnobotaniques associ\u00e9s au mus\u00e9e ethnologique d\u00e9partemental de Salagon, \u00e0 Mane.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>
Dans les ann\u00e9es 70, Paul avait achet\u00e9 chez Robert Morel le tr\u00e8s beau \u00ab\u00a0livre des arbres, arbustes et arbrisseaux\u00a0\u00bb de Pierre Lieutaghi. Le nom de cet auteur m\u2019est familier m\u00eame si je n\u2019ai pas lu ses \u0153uvres. Pourtant, tu prends ce volume pour faire une recherche pr\u00e9cise, et tu te retrouves \u00e0 lire un roman passionnant. Je sais, il faudra que je fouine dans notre biblioth\u00e8que et que j\u2019ajoute les livres de Lieutaghi aux dizaines de titres dans la liste des urgences en attente.<\/strong>

It is only here that I discover both these gardens and the close presence of a man who played a big role here. Wikipedia reminds us that Pierre Lieutaghi is \u00ab\u00a0designer of the ethnobotanical gardens associated with the departmental ethnological museum of Salagon, in Mane. \u00bb<\/em>
In the 1970s, Paul had bought from Robert Morel the very beautiful \u00ab\u00a0livre des arbres, arbustes et arbrisseaux\u00a0\u00bb (book of trees, shrubs and bush) by Pierre Lieutaghi. The name of this author is familiar to me even if I have not read his works. Yet, you pick up this volume to do some precise research, and you find yourself reading a thrilling novel. I know, I’ll have to snoop around our library and add Lieutaghi’s books to the dozens of titles on the urgently pending list.<\/strong>

Mon amour pour les arbres cro\u00eet \u00e0 leur vitesse, tr\u00e8s lentement. Mais il prend de solides racines. Mes connaissances aussi sont longues \u00e0 accumuler. M\u00eame si parfois je croise un Ent, je ne fais pas d\u2019anthropomorphisme avec les arbres. C\u2019est peut-\u00eatre Lieutaghi, ou un autre chercheur, qui trouvait coh\u00e9rents les parall\u00e8les entre humains et animaux, mais pas avec le r\u00e8gne v\u00e9g\u00e9tal. Nous sommes trop diff\u00e9rents, \u00ab\u00a0l\u2019intelligence\u00a0\u00bb des arbres n\u2019a strictement rien \u00e0 voir avec la n\u00f4tre, pas plus que la majorit\u00e9 de nos autres fonctions. Toujours est-il que nous avons beaucoup \u00e0 apprendre des v\u00e9g\u00e9taux, et m\u00eame si j\u2019oublie ce que j\u2019apprends, j\u2019en garde un \u00e9merveillement sans cesse renouvel\u00e9. Ces arbres tous pareils sont tous diff\u00e9rents, ils ont chacun leur histoire, et une \u00e9tonnante d\u00e9termination \u00e0 vivre malgr\u00e9 toutes les difficult\u00e9s qu\u2019ils doivent affronter.<\/strong>

My love for trees grows at their speed, very slowly. But it takes solid roots. My knowledge also takes a long time to accumulate. Even if sometimes I come across an Ent, I don’t do anthropomorphism with trees. It may have been Lieutaghi, or another researcher, who found the parallels between humans and animals consistent, but not with the plant kingdom. We are too different, the \u00ab\u00a0intelligence\u00a0\u00bb of trees has absolutely nothing to do with ours, nor the majority of our other functions. Still, we have a lot to learn from plants, and even if I forget what I learn, I keep a constantly renewed wonder. These trees, all the same, are all different, they each have their own story, and an astonishing determination to live despite all the difficulties they have to face.<\/strong>

J\u2019aurais aim\u00e9 rencontrer Pierre Lieutaghi, mais la libraire de Forcalquier m\u2019a dit qu\u2019il est tr\u00e8s fatigu\u00e9, autant ne pas le d\u00e9ranger. On peut l\u2019\u00e9couter en cliquant ici<\/a>, ici<\/a> ou l\u00e0<\/a>, j\u2019ai choisi les plus r\u00e9centes interviews. Vous pouvez en trouver d\u2019autres.<\/strong>

Ces jardins doivent \u00eatre merveilleux en mai-juin, pourtant je me sens tr\u00e8s bien ici, sensible \u00e0 l\u2019attente impatiente de la v\u00e9g\u00e9tation qui va bient\u00f4t se d\u00e9ployer (mais qui, bien s\u00fbr, ne conna\u00eet pas l\u2019impatience\u00a0!).<\/strong>

Nous sommes \u00e0 deux pas de Mane, et quand nous quittons le prieur\u00e9 apr\u00e8s une longue visite, nous allons faire un tour dans le village. Nous sommes dans une r\u00e9gion \u00ab\u00a0touristique mais pas trop\u00a0\u00bb. Cependant, une proportion consid\u00e9rable des maisons est inoccup\u00e9e, ce sont souvent des r\u00e9sidences secondaires. Il nous est arriv\u00e9 de traverser des villages sinistres pour cette raison. Nous montons par d\u2019\u00e9troites ruelles jusqu\u2019au ch\u00e2teau qui domine le village – propri\u00e9t\u00e9 priv\u00e9e, rien \u00e0 voir. Je trouve sympathiques ces terrasses am\u00e9nag\u00e9es sous les toitures.<\/strong>

We are close to Mane, and when we leave the priory after a long visit, we take a walk in the village. We are in a \u00ab\u00a0touristy but not too much\u00a0\u00bb region. However, a considerable proportion of the houses are unoccupied, they are often second homes. We happened to pass through grim villages for this reason. We climb through narrow streets to the castle which dominates the village – private property, nothing to see. I find these terraces under the roofs very nice.<\/strong>
