On the way to Villeréal, a lively bastide of the South-West where heritage, terroir and traditions meet!

Nestled between Périgord and Agenais, Villeréal invites you to step back in time! Founded in 1267 by Alphonse de Poitiers, this royal bastide reveals its checkerboard layout, typical of the South-West. In the heart of the village, the Place aux Cornières and its two-storey market hall immerse you in a medieval atmosphere. Lose yourself amongst the half-timbered houses and golden stone façades until you reach the impressive fortified church. Markets, festivals and traditions punctuate life in this gem of our heritage.

Beneath the market hall of the royal bastide

With its arcades, historic market hall and cobbled streets, Villeréal takes you on a vibrant journey through the heritage of the ‘new towns’.

As part of its cultural program, the Mairie de Villeréal (Villeréal town hall) is offering a giant-screen live retransmission of Macbeth from the Met in New York.

Synopsis: In Scotland, General Macbeth receives a prophecy from three witches: he will become king. Driven by Lady Macbeth's all-consuming ambition, he murders King Duncan to seize the throne. But guilt and paranoia take hold of the cursed couple, driving them into a spiral of violence and madness from which they will not escape unscathed.

Do you know what a sycophant is? An anacoluthon? A blanchecaille? A catachresis? A follicular? A clysopompe? A “villanelle”? Or perhaps a “kroumir” or a “Saint-Jean bouche d’or”? These rare, unusual, and colorful words have one thing in common: they come from the vocabulary of Georges Brassens’ songs and Captain Haddock’s repertoire of swear words. In addition to professing their love for the pipe, unwavering friendship, and absolute freedom, let’s take a stroll through the unique world of these sometimes archaic words and rediscover their origins and definitions...

Conférence : La musique des oiseaux

A lecture organized by the Université du Temps Libre du Pays Villeréalais and presented by Jean Claude Gallard, musicologist and composer. Birds have developed complex, elaborate, and fascinating vocalizations. The graphical representation of their songs in the form of sonograms allows us to discover that birdsong possesses all the characteristics of human music. This reaffirms our connection to the animal world. The lecture will demonstrate this through listening, analysis, and comparisons with the key characteristics of our music.
