Any resemblance to any village club (in the Périgord, for example) is totally accidental.

He enthusiastically built up an extensive collection of photographs and artworks. One can venture to say that, in his own way, he has become a man of wisdom. He has revealed to us a big secret: by the cantou or in the shade of an African hut one finds exactly the same warmth and warm-heartedness.

Her sole concern is their rehabilitation so they will no longer be regarded as second-rate beings. In her job as a zooarchaeologist, she carefully examines remains that apparently hold little interest for her fellow archaeologists: the bones of animals (mammoths, reindeer, bison, cave-dwelling lions) that have much to tell us about Neanderthal’s hunting strategies and his refined manner of living. Prehistory Wed, 25 Apr 07 12:00:00 GMT http://www.bugue-perigord-noir.info/en/prehistoire/heim/main.html ]]> 150 years ago a very old human cranium was discovered: the skull of Neanderthal Man. It was born a second time, so to speak... but in a nineteenth century strictly catholic context when no-one would have dreamt of querying the fact that man was a creation of God. These men from our ancient past with their ape-like faces were to give our family tree a mighty shake – and in a state of frenzy we went climbing up the branches of our tree to those inconceivable times long past. Prehistory was born, but the “forceps delivery” was a painful one. A century later, Jean-Louis Heim, an anthropologist in charge of the study of fossil man specimens, set out to restore them, with their bones all back together, to their rightful place in our history books. He meticulously rebuilt the skull of the man from la Chapelle-aux-Saints and studied, amongst others, the seven Neanderthal sepulchres at La Ferrassie.

The film will be released in September on DVD and there will be some “extra-specials”: the champions’ “bodega” in Le Bugue on 7 July, the presentation of the shield on the balcony of the town hall in an atmosphere of sheer bliss and more surprises which we’re keeping secret!
