Dans ce numéro spécial d’Echappées Belles, Jérome Pitorin se rend, le temps d’un Week-end, dans la ville d’Angers, en région Pays de la Loire. Découverte de la ville, activité sportives, loisirs en plein air, et bien sûr gastronomie…le menu de ce séjour sera copieux, et riche en rencontres.
Et ce voyage prendra une tournure tout à fait exceptionnelle, car Jérome Pitorin ne sera pas le seul à visiter Angers : Stéphane Marie et Carole Tolila, de l’émission « Silence Ça Pousse », sont également de passage. Mais pas seulement pour faire du tourisme : Stéphane et Carole, à l’invitation de la ville, se préparent à relever un défi de taille : Réaménager, réorganiser, revégétaliser, et arborer une place aujourd’hui vide et nue , située tout près du Musée Jean-Lurçat et de la tapisserie, pour en faire un lieu beau, vivant, convivial et chaleureux, un lieu propice aux rencontres et aux échanges. Après un rapide état des lieux, Stéphane proposera, à l’aide de ses fameux croquis, sa vision de cette place et la transformation qu’il propose. Avec Carole, ils vont, comme à l’accoutumée, faire appel à des bénévoles, qui participeront activement à ce vaste chantier de 3 jours . Vous l’avez deviné, Jérome Pitorin s’investira totalement dans ce projet, et retroussera ses manches pour aider.
Sophie Jovillard, Ismaël Khelifa et Jérôme Pitorin se relayent le samedi à 21h sur france5 pour vous faire découvrir des échappées aussi belles que lointaines.
I wouldn't say that, that's for tomorrow.
I'm a human front.
It's a good muscle warm-up for gardening.
Exactly.
Because it's not the same gestures we're going to do,
but we're going to do sport.
I can't wait to see what's in store for us.
You're not here.
It's in a place that's behind.
Because I told you, there's not much to do here.
It's perfect here.
Yes, it's good.
It's very beautiful.
We're going to go through the museum first
to show you the tapestry of Jean Lursa.
And then there's a garden in the back.
Where the master is going to intervene.
Simply, Lursa is very colorful.
It says things.
It says things that could inspire us.
That Lursa's works resonate in your garden.
That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing this artist.
I don't know him.
Oh yes, it's so beautiful.
It's magical.
In any case, the white of this stone
is cut with the black of the tapestries.
It's all in contrast.
It's crazy, isn't it?
It's really another way of looking at tapestry.
Yes.
With the big flat ones like that.
Here it's black,
which highlights colors that are quite pure,
quite strong.
And Stéphane is a connoisseur because he was a tapestry maker.
Is that true?
Yes, but tapestry makers make furniture.
Yes, but you worked in this way.
Not to make works, but for the material.
Yes, I remade seats.
I never created fabric.
In any case, it's very inspiring.
Good for you.
With what awaits you.
Oh yes.
We're going from wonder to wonder.
Have you seen the carpet?
Incredible, this carpet.
I think that's where we have to go.
Hello Fanny.
Hello Stéphane.
Hello Anne.
Hello.
So here, this place, how is it composed?
We saw that there is a cloister and a museum.
So here we have an old hospital ensemble
which was built in the 12th century,
which was in operation until the 19th century,
until the time when the Grand Hospital was built.
And we entered through the cloister to go into the room of the sick,
where the World Song is currently presented.
And so the World Song is really a symbolic vision
of the place of man in the universe.
Jean Liorce was completely marked by the 20th century.
And then he sees the apocalypse here in Angers.
So it's a truly artistic aesthetic shock.
He will now completely devote himself to tapestry.
And his great revolution is to use fewer colors.
Fanny, can you maybe explain the constraints
and what you expect from this project?
So we are here on a site that has no use,
that is getting old.
And what we are trying to do is perhaps
create an extension of the museum
with a space that is a little more built,
gardened, and then relaxing.
Why not?
Okay.
I see palm trees.
They're old.
And at the same time, we want to see the cloister from here.
Yes, that's true.
It's a shame.
It blurs the view.
And just above, we arrive on a second space
of about 150 square meters,
subject to a somewhat particular constraint,
since there are veins of schist, in fact,
of flowering schist.
Lardoises.
Typical of the region, by the way.
That means that there is very little ground depth.
You're going to like it, Stéphane.
That's a nice constraint.
Yes.
So wait, there's a second constraint.
We're on a site of historical monuments,
and so we can't dig deep.
We could say, no skin, but in this case, yes.
Yeah, well, it's less tiring.
What seems interesting to me is to try to clear,
not the sweep, but almost,
the maximum of flowering schist,
because it's beautiful.
And of course, it's to use...
Here we are in a country of lardoises.
Lardoises danger.
I've heard that all my childhood.
Well, we're going to try to articulate things
with this material.
And then, scales,
so as to grow vines.
That speaks.
It's the region, lardoises, wine.
And at the foot of all this,
I would still like to have a flatbed,
about 1.5 meters wide,
in which we will be able to plant
a maximum of hirsute plants.
Is he always like that?
Does it always boil when he offers things, Carol?
And there he is calm.
Oh yes?
Yes.
Then.
In your choice of trees,
you will also choose varieties
that have a meaning with the region.
Not necessarily.
Oh no.
What interests me here is the silhouette.
That is to say, I want to have something eclectic,
and that it is like a kind of collection.
I want flowering plants,
as we see anemones and irises,
and things like that.
So here, what will be privileged is the color.
Here.
We went around the owner.
What do you think?
It's great.
It's very original.
And we can't wait to see the result.
Thank you.
So Sarah, it's in the other area of the park.
Take on your right.
And once you are at the mammoth level,
on the left, behind the balloon,
you have the area of the unusual,
with carnivorous plants, tea,
and the abandoned greenhouse.
Both landscaper and mediator,
Boris is on all fronts
to pamper the visitors of Terra Botanica,
a park unique in Europe,
dedicated to the world of plants
and biodiversity.
Terra Botanica is a multi-generational park,
that is to say, we exclude no one,
the little ones, the grandparents,
the great-grandparents, the family.
The idea is that we spend a day all together,
and that we have fun,
and that we learn at the same time.
If we learn, we protect better,
because we know better.
So that's really the goal for me.
After having followed
vegetarian scientific studies,
Boris arrived at Terra Botanica.
For more than 10 years,
he has taken great care of it
and shares his knowledge with visitors.
The flowers that are here
are melliferous flowers,
that is to say, plants
that give flowers with a lot of nectar.
Because the butterflies
no longer eat vegetables,
they really eat the nectar
inside the flowers.
And sometimes they will eat the bananas.
We have cupels with bananas,
like over there, for example.
They love that.
How many butterflies are there in the greenhouse?
I don't know, there are plenty.
If you don't know, there are plenty, yes.
There are about 400 butterflies
in the greenhouse,
and we have about
forty different butterflies here.
Very small,
and then very large butterflies,
which we can see flying,
which are all blue,
in particular.
These are the Morpho.
They may be the favorite of visitors,
because it's all blue, it shines.
To be as playful as possible,
the park has also set up
several attractions,
including a trip to the walnut shell.
It's super nice with the girls.
Girls, what did you think?
It was so good!
It's so good?
Come on, pedal, pedal!
Yeah, super good!
Bravo!
