Geocache Description:

Gargilesse

Rivière La Gargilesse traverse ce petit joli village, domicile de George Sand, écrivaine célèbre et hébergement choisi de plusieurs peindres impressionistes, qui venaient pour les vues sur la rivière et les paysages. Construite sur rocher, elle est bénie d'un micro-climat doux. Malgré un nombre d’inhabitants entre trois et quatre cent, elle est capable de recevoir beaucoup de monde – touristes et artistes qui veulent voir, admirer et apprendre. La petite ville est aussi connue comme capital de la harpe, une académie de la harpe a été lancée ici par Pierre Jamet (1893-1991) Vous pouvez visiter l’église Romaine, le château, le moulin et la petite maison de George Sand. Cette cache remplace GC19AV4 qui est maintenant archivée.

The river Gargilesse runs through this little town, home of the celebrated writer George Sand, and loved by the many impressionist painters who came to paint the river and surrounding countryside. It is built on a rocky hillside and has a very favourable micro-climate. With only three to four hundred inhabitants it is nonetheless able to receive many tourists and artists who come here to see, to celebrate and to learn. It is also known as the capital of the harp and there is a music festival in the summer. A harp academy was set up here by Pierre Jamet (1893-1991) You can visit the 12th century church with ancient frescoes, a château, a mill and the little house that belonged to George Sand. This cache is a replacement for GC19AV4 which is now archived.
