The Mas de La Bau was where you had to be on Thursday night 8/16/12, for our annual concert! Mathilde Giraud took us on a musical journey through different eras and styles, exploring all the musical possibilities of the harp. The 130 people who had found a place in our vaulted room then had ample opportunity to question the musician on her  fascinating instrument, during the "cup of friendship" that followed the concert. And all came away delighted with this show as much visual as aural.

Art of May

In May, the artists of Céreste and the surrounding region will exhibit around a quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau:
"Climates, seasons, sounds, colors, darkness, light, elements, food, noise, silence, rest, everything acts on our machine and our soul."
An original approach, and creations that will not be less original!

• September 2011: La Gazette de Céreste reports the concert which took place August 17, 2011, in La Baou.

18-08_11

The musical evening held at the Mas de La Baou on August 17 was a success. Over 120 Cérestains and passing tourists responded to our invitation and enjoyed the remarkable performance of the Workshop Choir of St Martin de Castillon, a group of six singers who performed 17 polyphonic songs from Occitan, Corsican, Italian, Ukrainian, and Georgian oral tradition...
The framework of our large restored barn, with its impressive vaults, fitted perfectly to this musical expression, which takes its roots in the Mediterranean rurality.
The audience was spellbound. Our guests this week have been particularly well served with this concert at home!
The evening ended with a drink and a buffet.

August 11

 The traditional "Journées de l'Art" (Days of Art) are held in Céreste from 6 to 15 August 2011.

Opening with fanfare of the exhibition, on August 6, 11.

Mme Renaud-Guasch's paintings brighten our summer kitchen and our yard.
