LES THIAULINS DE LIGNIERES EN BERRY

The Thiaulins founded an association founded in 1946 by Roger Pearron. The latter, known and estimated in Berry, was able to bring together young ligniéroise to witness oral traditions and the material life of yesteryear in Berry. Today, the Thiaulins are about enthusiasts of all ages, of all occupations, who combine their knowledge and put it at the service of the castle of Plaix, for its restoration and preservation. They also make known to the public the songs and dances of Berry, through numerous concerts, creations of discs… They are led by Mic Baudimant, also figure of Berry, cornemuseux and ardent defender of the arts and popular traditions. They thus collect the latest testimonies of peasant tradition. For nearly forty years, the Assembly of Plaix is taking place on the 3rd Sunday in August. A real event in the region, there is also a very long way to go to participate in the festivities. With the Thiaulins, it is a little memory of Berry that resists time and oblivion.
