J\u2019en avais assez de vous raconter la trilogie arrosage-d\u00e9sherbage-r\u00e9colte, m\u00eame si c\u2019est int\u00e9ressant \u00e0 vivre. On a laiss\u00e9 ces soins \u00e0 Lolo et encore une fois on a pris la route.<\/strong>
Commen\u00e7ons par un pique-nique dans les environs de Saint-Claude.<\/strong>
\u00ab\u00a0Yelen\u00a0\u00bb means \u00ab\u00a0light\u00a0\u00bb in Bambara, but you\u2019ll have to wait a while to find out why this title.<\/span><\/strong>
I was tired of telling you about the watering-weeding-harvesting trilogy, even if it is interesting to experience. We left this care to Lolo and once again we hit the road.<\/span><\/strong>
Let’s start with a picnic in the surroundings of Saint-Claude.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Barely settled in the village of \u00ab Les-Fourgs \u00bb, we discover a self-service grocery store, with a machine where you pay to buy, but there is also free access for some products, you take what you need and you put the money in the box, so cool this formula!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Toussaint Louverture est n\u00e9 en 1743 \u00e0 Saint-Domingue. D\u2019origine afro-carib\u00e9enne, il est esclave dans une plantation de canne \u00e0 sucre. Affranchi en 1776, il a une propri\u00e9t\u00e9 et des esclaves, cela fait partie de l\u2019ambigu\u00eft\u00e9 du personnage. Les id\u00e9es r\u00e9volutionnaires venues de France favorisent un soul\u00e8vement des esclaves, il organise l\u2019insurrection. En 1794 la France proclame l\u2019abolition de l\u2019esclavage. Il est promu g\u00e9n\u00e9ral en chef des arm\u00e9es fran\u00e7aises de St-Domingue et r\u00e9ussit \u00e0 r\u00e9unir l\u2019int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00eele. En 1801 il promulgue une constitution autonomiste qui le nomme gouverneur \u00e0 vie. Cet acte provoque la r\u00e9action du premier consul Napol\u00e9on Bonaparte qui r\u00e9tablit l\u2019esclavage et fera arr\u00eater Toussaint Louverture par tra\u00eetrise. Il est enferm\u00e9 au ch\u00e2teau de Joux (\u00e0 la fois place-forte inexpugnable et un des lieux les plus \u00e9loign\u00e9s d\u2019une mer) en 1802, accus\u00e9 de haute trahison et de r\u00e9bellion. Il a 59 ans. Il meurt sept mois plus tard.<\/strong>
\u00ab\u00a0Le premier janvier 1804, l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance est proclam\u00e9e, Saint-Domingue prend le nom d\u2019Ha\u00efti et devient la premi\u00e8re r\u00e9publique noire du monde.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
Il faut attendre 1848 pour l\u2019abolition d\u00e9finitive de l\u2019esclavage en France.<\/strong>
Toussaint Louverture was born in 1743 in Santo Domingo. Of Afro-Caribbean origin, he is a slave in a sugar cane plantation. Freed in 1776, he has a property and slaves, this is part of the ambiguity of the character. The revolutionary ideas coming from France favor an uprising of the slaves, he organizes the insurrection. In 1794 France proclaimed the abolition of slavery. He was promoted to general-in-chief of the French armies of Santo Domingo and succeeded in reuniting the entire island. In 1801 he promulgated an autonomist constitution which appointed him governor for life. This act provoked the reaction of the first consul Napoleon Bonaparte who reestablished slavery and had Toussaint Louverture arrested out of treachery. He was locked up in the Ch\u00e2teau de Joux (both an impregnable stronghold and one of the furthest places from a sea) in 1802, accused of high treason and rebellion. He is 59 years old. He died seven months later.<\/span><\/strong>
\u00ab\u00a0On January 1, 1804, independence was proclaimed, Saint-Domingue took the name Haiti and became the first black republic in the world.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
It was not until 1848 that slavery was finally abolished in France.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Les r\u00e9cits que l\u2019on raconte sur des personnalit\u00e9s comme celle de Toussaint Louverture sont difficiles \u00e0 v\u00e9rifier. On enjolive ou on diabolise. Il nous reste un personnage c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 aujourd\u2019hui encore par la communaut\u00e9 ha\u00eftienne de Suisse en 1997 ou le pr\u00e9sident de la r\u00e9publique d\u2019Ha\u00efti en 2014. Il est surtout un symbole auquel on peut s\u2019identifier, un homme courageux, un h\u00e9ros\u2026<\/strong>
The stories that are told about personalities like that of Toussaint Louverture are difficult to verify. We embellish or we demonize. We are left with a character still celebrated today by the Haitian community in Switzerland in 1997 or the President of the Republic of Haiti in 2014. He is above all a symbol with whom we can identify, a courageous man, a hero…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Le ch\u00e2teau est immense, mais Toussaint Louverture, \u00e9troitement surveill\u00e9, ne conna\u00eetra que sa cellule, pi\u00e8ce relativement vaste, peu \u00e9clair\u00e9e, humide, malsaine.<\/strong>
The castle is immense, but Toussaint Louverture, closely monitored, will only know his cell, a relatively large room, dimly lit, damp, unhealthy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Je photographie un verrou gigantesque, mais je rate la photo suivante, pourtant bien n\u00e9cessaire pour donner une id\u00e9e de sa dimension.<\/strong>

Enfin on atteint cet immense puits : il a n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 un an et demi de travail \u00e0 raison de quatre personnes en permanence sur le site, sept jours sur sept. Vauban estimait les r\u00e9serves d\u2019eau insuffisantes. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, on ma\u00eetrisait mal l\u2019usage des explosifs en milieu ferm\u00e9, ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 peu utilis\u00e9s, et ce travail incroyable a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9 principalement avec des pelles et des pioches.<\/strong>
Finally we reached this immense well: it required a year and a half of work with four people permanently on the site, seven days a week. Vauban considered the water reserves insufficient. At the time, the use of explosives in a closed environment was poorly understood, they were little used, and this incredible work was carried out mainly with shovels and pickaxes.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

La visite du ch\u00e2teau se termine. Mais\u2026 pourquoi Yelen\u00a0? Au moment o\u00f9 j\u2019\u00e9cris ces mots, le festival Yelen est termin\u00e9, mais c\u2019est pour lui que nous sommes all\u00e9s nous installer quelques jours dans le Haut Doubs. Nous sommes arriv\u00e9s en avance et avons fait un peu de tourisme avant de descendre les neuf \u00e9pingles \u00e0 cheveux entre Sainte-Croix et Baulmes, en Suisse. Nous avons mang\u00e9 de l\u2019Afrique pendant trois jours et nous revenons fous d\u2019enthousiasme.
J’ai pas fini de vous en parler !<\/strong>
The visit to the castle ends. But\u2026why Yelen? As I write these words, the Yelen festival is over, but it is for it that we went to stay for a few days in Haut Doubs. We arrived early and did a bit of sightseeing before heading down the nine hairpins between Sainte-Croix and Baulmes, Switzerland. We ate from Africa for three days and we come back crazy with enthusiasm.
I haven’t finished telling you about it!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
