Hotel in Le Bastit
Hanging on the pigeon house like an alcove, the room la Tour seduces with its fancy decor and its view of the barns and the big oak, like the Lotoise residence of André Breton, the former Auberge des mariniers, at the bottom of the village of St Cirq, confidential venue for artists in residence.
It is in 1951 that André Breton leader of the surrealism, concretizes his dream of stone and light after having inaugurated the 1st World Road without border arriving at St Cirq Lapopie: "St Cirq has disposed on me of the only enchantment, the one that fixes forever... It was at the end of the drive - the only road of hope - that St-Cirq burned at the lights of Bengal appeared to me - like an impossible rose at night...."
his year, to echo the Poets' Spring, we highlight in parallel other writers, poets, artist or singer like William Merwin American poet, leaders in the revival of American poetry after the Second World War, which took up residence in Lacam in Haut Querçy in 1954. You will find bilingual readings of his most intimate texts.
Like Stevenson he walked the paths, the hills, the meadows of the region and his love remained intact. His friend Michael Taylor, is also in love with this magnificent Causse and gives a very nice introduction to the texts of Merwin.
