At the Molin de Corèu (Saint-Symphorien sur Couze, 87) passed the Cosa. In the house on the banks of the Aiga, three generations live... The Courieux mill has not been working for a long time. Marcelle Dubreuil, in her wheelchair, remembers this activity and the dangers of the river that nearly took her little Francis. The latter, who has become a proud lad, devotes himself to cattle breeding, soon in the company of Loïc, her own 18-year-old son, who is passionate about agriculture and who already dreams of passing on the property in turn. Alain, Francis' brother, lives in the Paris region and comes to recharge his batteries in the house he was born in. From Paris, he only ever speaks to his mother in Occitan. Alain was educated in Occitan and Francis, fifteen years younger, exclusively in French. However, he speaks a very beautiful language. But the thread is broken... A 27-minute documentary in Occitan (subtitled in French) made in 2011 by the IEO dau Lemosin (Jean-Pierre Cavaillé, Jean-Paul Faure and Jean-François Vignaud). This film is broadcast (as well as several others) on the local channel 7ALimoges: http://www.7alimoges.tv You can find many documents in the Limousin language on the Biaça, the site of the archives of the IEO Lemosin: http://www.la-biaca.org
