Près du puits: mai 2011

http://presdupuits.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Samedi 14 mai 2011. Un peu de magie. Des immeubles de yaourts? Nous sommes dans la gare routière de Ouezzane, en route vers la ville sainte du Rif, Chefchaouen l'andalouse. Après, les routes sinueuses de montagnes. Et la nausée. Et puis, enfin, Chefchaouen. Et là, déception. La ville, étalée sur le flanc de la montagne, a l'air toute grise et tristounette. Mais ce n'est qu'une illusion. Chefchaouen a le pouvoir d'adoucir les plus endurcis d'entre nous. La couleur, vive et omniprésente. L'American Fondouk...

Près du puits: July 2010

http://presdupuitsinmorocco.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 28 July 2010. A few videos of Fred, who is working on mudbrick house in Ouled Mgatel - he's brave, believe me, it's very hot in Morocco. First, his last time on Moroccan TV(I can't remember the name of the show). And for the first time, he's singing alone :. And then, an old video put online by our friend Mickaël. Tuesday, 13 July 2010. 3 days in Tarifa. Oops I haven't written much on my blog lately. The. In June, we did a small trip to Tarifa. On the first night, we met in a bar. But if you c...

Près du puits: Life in Fez : The Story of a Cemetery

http://presdupuitsinmorocco.blogspot.com/2010/06/life-in-fez-story-of-cemetery.html

Wednesday, 2 June 2010. Life in Fez : The Story of a Cemetery. A while ago, I discovered the Christian cemetery, in the Ville Nouvelle of Fez. People buried here are mostly French, Spanish et Italian; but, in the military area, there are also a lot of Moroccans, and Sub-Saharan Africans. Thousands of stories are buried there - I would love to know more about them. And to know more about our home-made (and tiny) recording studio - for our job at Luxe Radio - it's. 2 June 2010 at 18:08. 3 June 2010 at 16:10.

Près du puits: 3 days in Tarifa

http://presdupuitsinmorocco.blogspot.com/2010/07/3-days-in-tarifa.html

Tuesday, 13 July 2010. 3 days in Tarifa. Oops I haven't written much on my blog lately. The. Is updated more regularly, so don't hesitate to go there if you want to know what I've been up to. In June, we did a small trip to Tarifa. Spain It was actually our first real week-end since we started to work at Luxe Radio. I discovered the city four months ago, but didn't really have the time to visit and go to the beach. This time, we stayed three days, and it's worth it. On the first night, we met in a bar.

Près du puits: Une vie d'enfant à Ouled Emgatel

http://presdupuits.blogspot.com/2008/03/une-vie-denfant-ouled-emgatel.html

Vendredi 14 mars 2008. Une vie d'enfant à Ouled Emgatel. Hayat, la petite bergère de 5 ans, et son troupeau. Bientôt il lui faudra aussi aller chercher de l'eau au puits, aider à la cuisine. et, par dessus le marché, aller à l'école. Hayat et Samir avec leur père, Abdelftah, le fils aîné de Mohammed. Ah, le petit Samir, toujours en train de faire la tête. derrière, les cousines de la ville profitent un peu du calme de la campagne. En tout cas Nathalie, rien à craindre pour Maxence de la part des chiens!

Près du puits: avril 2011

http://presdupuits.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Jeudi 14 avril 2011. Al Halqa, dans le cercle du conteur : écoutez, regardez. Avant-hier, nous sommes allés voir le film qui inaugurait la semaine du documentaire de Fès. Cela s'appelait Al Halqa. Et c'est l'oeuvre de l'allemand Thomas Ladenburger, qui a filmé, sur le cours de quatre années, la vie d'un conteur de la place Jamaa el Fna, à Marrakech. Le conteur et son fils- photo Thomas Ladenburger. Et pourtant, la halqa a été inscrite au patrimoine immatériel de l'Unesco - on peut voir une vidéo ici.

Près du puits: April 2010

http://presdupuitsinmorocco.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, 18 April 2010. Seuta/Sebta: A piece of Europe in Africa. A few weeks ago, we went to Sebta - in Moroccan Arabic, or Ceuta in Spanish. As you can see on the map, Sebta is in Spain - but also in Africa. Going there, coming from Morocco, is really a weird experience. We tried to cross the border with our car, before we realized we hadn't got the international insurance. We had to go back to Fnideq - where we saw the goat. And there, not so far away (just behind the hill), Morocco. My blog in French.

Près du puits: February 2011

http://presdupuitsinmorocco.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, 19 February 2011. By the way, how's the mudbrick house? Honestly, I don't really know. I'm in Fez most of the time, and Fred spends his days in Meknès. So, you shouldn't be asking me. No, instead, ask him. Titi", newcomer in Ouled Emgatel. Eats lost of mice (I hope), and is daredevil (I hope not too much, though - dogs don't like cats here). Wednesday, 16 February 2011. The Hamadchas on Swiss radio. To read a recap of the year 2010 by the well, or here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Moroccan ab...

Près du puits: November 2009

http://presdupuitsinmorocco.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, 29 November 2009. No rain in Ouled Mgatel, and a promise. Time passes very slowly in Morocco, december is almost here, and the sun still shines in Ouled Mgatel, and it still hasn't rained. That's a big relief for us, -we had plenty of time to fix the house - but a bad sign for all our neighbors. Last year, at this time, we were in the mud and the rain. And we were living in a crappy hotel in Fez. And this is, hopefully, the last picture of our house in that shape. not proud). Photos of the House.
