Come along for a unique show, a moving and authentic account of life on the Garonne. All similarities with real people are not by coincidence as people have recalled their memories to tell the area’s passionate history. The scenario was actually written from a first hand account of experiencing the overflowing river. Spectators will be transported back to the beginning of the 1960s to share in the everyday and often turbulent - life of the Garonne people. An explanatory model, a museum as well as a scenovison show, are completed during the summer by an outing on the river with the rescuers and a meal to be eaten at the open café The products served are all from "Fermes de Garonne", a network of 24 farmers, fruit and veg growers, bee-keepers, primeurs and horticulturists all flying the flag of the "Garden of the South West".
