Talk organised by the Alliance Française Milton Keynes

Join Étienne Couderc, born in Toulouse, for a journey through Occitania, a region where history, language, and identity intersect in unexpected ways.

From the Visigoths, who left their mark on southern France, to the remarkable story of people from Aveyron who set out to seek their fortune in Argentina, this talk explores the lesser-known threads of the region’s history. Along the way, discover the Occitan language, still alive today, the traditions that continue to shape this distinctive culture, and the richness of its generous gastronomic heritage.

Bridging past and present, this illustrated presentation offers an original perspective on Occitania, far from the usual clichés.

Illustrated lecture followed by a discussion with the audience.
