The Hebdo 163
Ah! Women!
DayInternational Women's Rights...
A well-known journalist recently wrote: I would like this day to be permanently removed from the calendar; This would mean that all over the world, women's rights are finally recognized, that the battle – because c'en is one! – for gender equality is finally won... Unfortunately, victory is not for tomorrow...
Evil comes from far away!
– Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) and some philosophers aconfirm that the status of women is a question of « common sense » due to « Lower nature ».
– For Napoleon Bonaparte, the husband owes protection to his wife, the wife obeys her husband. (art. 213 of the Civil Code).
Examples could be multiplied.
Women's rights movements began in the United States in 1848 under the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Her entire life she will struggle for women to gain the freedom to dispose of their wages, for their inheritance rights, for the right to vote, etc.; a right that Congress will adopt in 1919, 17 years after her death.
In New Zealand, women were granted the right to vote in 1893... in France, only in 1944! In 1965, French women could work, open an account and sign cheques without the permission of their husbands.
Finally to smile: since 2012 – very precisely on July 12 – they can wear pants without violating the law! Senator Alain Houpert had found a legal rule dating from 26th mist year IX (17 November 1800) specifying that any woman wishing to dress as a man must report to the Police Prefecture for permission. He asked for its repeal. to Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, Minister of Women's Rights (2012 to 2014).
A smile which disappears quickly if one considers the fate of too many African women always subject to excision; Chinese women : Single Child Policy forced them to abortion or even sterilization by force. Fortunately., Since 2021, birth planning has become more flexible.
- In Italy, ladies are offered small bouquets of mimosa (symbol of female strength).
In Chile, you walk through the streets of Santiago with green and purple scarves (colors symbols of feminist struggles).
- In Argentina, thousands of people are expected on the streets of Argentina; There too, green and purple will be at the party!
Let's finish with a quote from the malicious Colette* who, free to the point of scanning « Good-thinking people » which surrounded, wrote:
– The woman is capable of all man's exercises... Except to pee standing against a wall.
Jeanne Monin
Searches on several sites including Wikipedia → quotations from J.-J. Rousseau and Napoleon Bonaparte.
*Colette (1873-1954). Letterwoman, novelist. His bold writing, « chiseled » Some say, full of the scents of the land of Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye, is soon noticed by Aragon, Mauriac, and a few others. Her life as a free woman – actress, she plays almost naked on stage, she cuts her hair « Boy's », she displays her bisexuality – it is worth many attacks from her contemporaries.
Artist... Woman's head... Berger...

The bell tower clock
The window...
The Muy market
Party days!

Leporello!
The bell tower clock
The Campanile of Aups The Clock Tower in Draguignan
Marie-Dominique Germain
The fully restored clock tower is beautiful!
François Abbe
How to read the hour when you don't have a watch and there's no clock at the bell tower?
In the village, the farmers had a trick: when the sun drew a specific shape on the Rock of Roquebrune, they knew it was noon and so time to stop the field work !...
Claude Boyer
Same with the cliff of the Baume Rainaude located in the glue of the Rouet. When she passes through the shadows it is that it is noon from where her name « noon rock » given by the harvesters...
The window...
No need for internet: just open the window to have a show.
But what can these two women say when they look at the 1978 corso flower in Roquebrune-sur-Argens (Var)?
To see them as laying on the edge of the window, like passing birds, you want to approach to listen to them... It seems that they evoke their youth...
The Muy market
François Abbe
Every Sunday, it's market day at the Muy. Why do we like this deal? Because it is large, made for the locals (the tourists are welcome, of course!), living and dynamic all year round.
Today, more than 200 exhibitors install each week under the plane trees and offer local or regional terroir products, cooked dishes, spices and spices. Were they so numerous at the time André Abbe took the picture?
The Muy is not a tourist village like Le Castelet or Saint-Paul-de-Vence. It is located at the exit of the motorway for the Gorges du Verdon, Saint-Tropez, etc.
Jeanne Monin
But where are the markets of Dantan, full of scents and calls from traders?
– It's fresh, it's fresh, my sardine!
At the east entrance of the Muy there is the Notre Dame Tower. Built in the thirteenth century, more commonly referred to as Charles Quint Tower in memory of the resistance of the Muyois who opposed in 1526 to the emperor who invaded Provence.
Party days!
Holiday in Provence... We hear the music and the crowd rushes to get to Perrin Square! (Roquebrune) – Photos – A. Abbe
Place Perrin (1979), a place that has changed little. It was a festive day in Roquebrune and saltimbanks were happening in front of an attentive and good child...
Maybe you'll recognize yourself!
Remember 1978, still in Roquebrune-sur-Argens (Var), cradle of the Abbe family!
The flowered corso went up to Perrin Square, making it several times around
and went down by the same way as going.
Elise Savine
When's a new Mid Lent in Roquebrune? The holiday committee should be concerned... Maybe not enough volunteers for the organization...

Passadoc is a very great wealth and I am very admired to find this « Past » which makes us dream. What some have not experienced... I admire and take my hat to the association very high and even more to André and François.
Jeanne Monin
Little sadness to see that in too many small cities, parties die... The rides, the lotteries no longer settle on the squares; The wooden horses offer only wise walks in step while the children today dream of riding gallops.
Life has changed pace and volunteerism is increasingly volatile!
Business
Claude Boyer
Business... the fortress is distinguished
top of the rocky pile.
Jean-Philippe Tinois
I had this happiness three years in a row, shared with my son; The shepherds were accompanied, helped, following a privileged route passing through the gorges of the Blavet, Seillans at M. Christine viculteur, the Clue de Saint-Auban, Seranon, Ubraye, Annot, then the Brush which passed through the camp of Canjuers (and remains of Roman way), a right granted by Queen Jeanne and which the soldiers respect with good reason because the path thus is close to the straight line.
The end-of-day bivouac was carried out in two people, sisters or mother and daughter, living in a farm body that could house 50 people, a place that they maintained as best they could.
It was felt that there had been life there but that the rest was not there; These two people were also very fierce because they were used to living alone and rough.
Then, after Annot, started the real mountain with the arrival and the end of the journey, an evening where funny or sad stories circulated softened or amplified by some good glasses of wine, a good fire... memories evoked by the ancients... the discovery of the work of a summer shepherd who looks like a « Swiss knife » Observer, birth attendant, surgeon, etc.
The next day, a visit to the valley with its gigantic trees, which could not be turned around at 10, giants who perhaps – at least they believed – had seen Hannibal and his elephants pass.
It should be noted that the order of the villages mentioned may not be the geographical one but just that of my memory and that Hannibal may have gone elsewhere but he did not tell me.
Business... I arrived there in 1975. With Julien and Bellini, we had slept at Guedan bridge; At the time there was a huge pig-house where today the Cozzi public works are located. And after the next day, the Dalui gorges... Memories, memories.
Business... I know! Last summer big heat in the alleys.
Leporello!
