Conference | From Brigantio to Villette by Godeleine Logez

Finding out about the past gives us a better understanding of the present and how to guide our future. Our villages have undergone such a rapid transformation in just under a century that there is a great risk of forgetting what made the specificity of a territory encompassed in an ever larger and more uniform entity. This book was written to preserve the memory of a past that was sometimes glorious and sometimes painful, of places that are now unrecognizable. It is for those who have always lived there and would like to find the traces of their ancestors, as well as those who have come to live there and are curious to discover the historical, heritage and natural riches of the place they are now living in.
