Sentier a p'Art

Works of art are installed in the middle of nature, on a hiking trail, for the pleasure of young and old curious. This walk invites you to take a close and artistic look at the natural environment. The artistic creation was entrusted to Coline Vergez, a local artist already well known in Simorre. His reflection on rural art and environmental concerns lead him to work with local artists and artisans for the realization of his 5 works and the signage of the course, using sustainable materials and/ or recovery. Collaborations: Jean-Michel Carcy, ironman of art in Seissan realized the arrows, Kriss Fabr'Hic, artisan of art recycler in Biran created the birds, Crhistophe Moine "Xof" recuperist diverter has realized the "Cycloraptosaurus", Aliénor Rajade glass artist in Simorre has realized "Insects in light", Jeff Cervera, cabinetmaker in Simorre has directed "La Pause des deux horizons", Stéphane Vincent carpenter of marine in Simorre, has realized "L'oeil du cocon", Juju and Dédé (MH Services) in l'Isle-en-Dodon have realized "The flight of flavors". A dossier "under the magnifying glass" gives you all the details about the artists, as well as the small exhibition presented in the tourist information office of Simorre. Discover or rediscover the p'Art trail with a series of audio guides. Along the trail, discover the explanations of Coline Vergez, the creator of the trail. Get on the trail using the materials available at the tourist information offices of Gimont and Simorre and flash the QR code of the document as you go.

DOMAINE DE VALMIRANDE

Park and gardens. A real arboretum with more than 180 species. Stables and tack rooms among the most beautiful in France. Concierge service at the entrance of the estate. Remarkable elements: statues, sculpture, factory, bridges, fountain, lake, cave. THE INTERIOR OF THE CASTLE CANNOT BE VISITED. Open from Tuesday 14/07 to Sunday 30/08. Wearing of the mask is compulsory. There will be no visit of the Chapel (too small to respect the social distance). The view that amazes. The Château de Valmirande, built by Baron Bertrand de Lassus, is an ex-nihilo creation of the end of the 19th century. In 1892, he acquired 10 plots of land in one piece, with a surface area of about 41 hectares, in order to build the castle, surrounded by a landscaped park. The design of the château was entrusted to Louis Garros, an architect from Bordeaux. For the park, Baron de Lassus called upon the Bülher brothers, creators of the park of the "tête d'Or" in Lyon, the Borély park in Marseille and the Talleyrand property in Valençay... In 1902, the castle was extended to the east by a chapel whose stained glass windows, marbles and the Sacred Heart of L. Barrias can be admired. In 1912, the landscape gardener René Édouard André inserted two French-style flowerbeds: one to the north of the castle, the other to the south from which one can discover the view of the Pyrenees mountain range so loved by Bertrand de Lassus. The castle, a private residence, cannot be visited. Real arboretum of more than 180 species.

Artistic Structures with Vegetable Use

Artistic Structures with Vegetable Use

This artistic project was born out of the desire of the ‘Food’ collective of the Bouche A Oreille cooperative to bring art to the ‘village kitchen garden’. The idea was not just to bring gardeners, villagers and visitors into contact with artistic works, but for them to be a vehicle for questioning and reflecting on the environment in which they are displayed: the kitchen garden. The artistic work of Coline Vergez, scenographer, is always a witness to the environment in which it takes place. She seeks to highlight and question it, while integrating her pieces within it. In this way, the works fit into a logic of harmony between materials, images that make sense and/or their utility. She created her first work ‘MMMMH!’ in the village of Simorre, as well as 5 ½uvres that make up the Sentier à p'Art - a 4km walking trail starting from Simorre based on the principle of Land'Art. ‘In this project, I want to remain faithful to this way of working and propose works that are fully integrated into the intention of the vegetable garden; that respect its gesture, reveal it and serve it. My artistic approach is intended to be accessible to everyone, in a language that is clear and easy to understand, and that does not compartmentalise. I want to speak to everyone and I want my work to speak to everyone". A little corner of the kitchen or...behind the scenes of life. This first work, installed in May 2020, highlights a central element of the kitchen that plays as essential a role in the processing of food as it does in that of the people who live there: its table. ‘I chose it for its most basic function. It's the heart of the kitchen, the place where food is cut and chopped, de-boned, sorted, cleaned, weighed, pressed... The place where food becomes a meal. But it's also the place where people reveal themselves, alone or to each other. I love the idea that a single edge of the kitchen table could have witnessed the birth of love, the passing of culinary or family secrets, the tearing apart of people, the making of major decisions, the creation of projects, the growth of children, the sharing of desires... No matter how insignificant, this little corner of the table works on living things, transforms them and makes them evolve. Its scale has been enlarged to emphasise its importance, but also to make it a useful structure in the vegetable garden. Both the chair and the table can accommodate climbing plants and cucurbits, and their heights allow the gardener to pick fruit with ease, while creating a shady spot in summer. In winter, the table is covered in strips of woollen fabric coloured with plants from the garden or picked nearby. Artistic structures for kitchen use. Un petit coin de cuisine ou...les coulisses de la vie’ is part of an overall concept that will see other installations created in the same spirit. The idea is that each artistic installation should be made up of three essential elements: it should provoke questioning, it should be useful and it should be legible. These elements will be developed in different ways for each piece. In this context, Coline's work will question what is not visible to the naked eye: the purpose of market gardening (for what purpose do we cultivate, how do we transform what grows there, what is the future of what we create there? etc.) or will highlight the invisible but essential players in the life of the vegetable garden (its microcosm: earthworm, beetle, lucanus, dragonfly, etc.). The works will all have a real function within the garden, whether in the gardening process, in providing amenities for native flora or fauna, or in improving the living spaces for gardeners or visitors. This work will be aimed at a lay audience and is intended to speak to everyone. Each person will interpret the works in their own way, depending on who they are and what their artistic background is, but the creations will use a very direct and clear visual language. To facilitate this, humour and paradox will be used to demystify art and make it accessible to everyone.

TILIA

The 12-person gite offers dormitory accommodation (sleeps 8) as well as a large private family room (sleeps 4) and two bathrooms. During the warmer months, the Gîte Tilia welcomes hikers, cyclists, workers and travellers passing through. Each year we have continued to renovate and equip the 90m2 gîte so that we can offer quality tourist accommodation at a low price. Over four seasons, we've noticed that women and LGBT+ people don't always feel comfortable in mixed dormitories. In fact, as we only have one dormitory, we haven't always been able to promise a safe space when asked. That's why we'd like to tell you how our project has evolved, in line with our values and the needs we've identified. A more suitable and cosy space. With a view to reopening in 2025, we are going to reorganise the space so that we have a larger, more welcoming dormitory, as well as a private room that can accommodate a couple/family or a small group of friends. A safer space for women and LGBT+ people. We would like to make our space available for mixed periods for women and LGBT+ people, so that we can welcome them in a more inclusive, respectful and secure facility. To get a better idea of the demands and needs of this target audience, we have prepared a short questionnaire: https: //forms.gle/awbVgun4YxJz1xzi8 (feel free to share). An offer for associations and SSE companies. We would also like to adapt the spaces to accommodate groups and associations with social and solidarity economy values, to enable them to 'go green' under the right conditions.
