Monday, 16 February. Up at 6:30 a.m., slept poorly. The stress of a big day of travelling, which I was a little apprehensive about. Our main mission today: to pick up an umbrella... measuring 120 square metres. There are days like this that seem like imaginal cells, fractal images of the greater j...

It's official: yesterday, we signed the final deed of sale for a small plot of land in the Béarn foothills of the Pyrenees.

How did I end up here in Miramon? In order to answer this question, I will have to go back to the summer of 2008, my first year in high school.

21 janvier 2026, fin de journée. « Si vous voulez prendre soin de vos arbres, vraiment, laissez-les tranquilles. » CM arrive avec une petite demi-heure de retard sur la colline. Un peu échevelé, doux, énergique, moins baraqué que je l'imaginais. Miramon l'accueille avec un spectaculaire feu d'...

Prelude Our terrain is quite interesting. Miramon is perched on a small hill. Cycling here from the nearest village requires strong leg muscles, as the path winds up the mountain with almost no flat sections. Because of our elevated position, standing beneath the oak trees, you can gaze far into t...
