They imagined an adventure story, inspired by the landscapes and the lives of the inhabitants of the high plateau, populated by stories, music and noises that run on the pastures…“
The children met Géraldine, a young accordionist and member of the folkloric group Lous Cascadelous del Bés, who made them dance the soufflé and organized a visit to the Cabrette Museum in Cantoin.
