An intergenerational project focused on discovery
In the heart of Béarn, the Association of Retirees and Supporters of Sendets brings seniors together around meaningful and emotional events. One of the highlights of this season was the invitation extended to friends from Assat, the Sans Soucis, to jointly explore a historic route across Europe and Gascony. This project places the exploration of the local past at the center of conviviality, and promotes the transmission of knowledge between generations.
A journey into the history of Morlaàs
Thanks to a slideshow created for the occasion, participants were guided through the centuries, stopping at iconic figures such as Centulle, Gaston, and Moncade, illustrious viscounts of Béarn. This retrospective allowed for understanding the origin and evolution of the towns, tracing back to ecclesiastical roots, and discovering the noble houses as well as the former fors that structured society at the time. Seniors thus experienced a unique moment, discovering the richness of their region from a new perspective.
The visit to Morlaàs, former capital of Béarn
After a shared meal at the L’Amandier restaurant, members of both associations continued their adventure from the historic square of La Hourquie. A true cultural walk revealed a Morlaàs often unknown, where every corner of the street unveils a piece of local history. Participants rediscovered the locations of old washhouses and fountains, entered the ramparts, and followed what was once the railway line of the last century.
In the footsteps of builders and influential figures
Emotions and memories surfaced in front of the medieval buildings that still embody the spirit of the Salinis and Madaune houses. Seniors also recalled historical figures such as Doctor De Paul, known for his social commitment, or Sculptor Gabart, whose works beautify the local heritage. These virtual encounters provided a poignant dive into a rich past, marked by delightful anecdotes.
