The accent on his hotel, the natural materials and conception, reflects the style of his food. he is concerned with the environment, ecology, good produce and excellent standards...Route de l'Aubrac, Aubrac - 12210 Laguiole, France..Perched on a hill-top high in the mountains of the southern Auvernge region of France, miles from anywhere, the unique restaurant and hotel of Chef Michel Bras is regularly full to overflowing. One would swear that this extraordinary chef had studied in Japan from his style of presentation on the plate and his spare artistry in designing his dishes. However, it is only in the last few years that he visited that country for the first time. Those who believe in re-incarnation claim he must have lived previous lives in Japan. Instead, he claims his influence is entirely from his mother's cooking, his abiding love of the wild flora that braves this harsh environment and his passion for the region and town of his birth, Aubrac and Laguiole respectively..

The Gypsy festival "le Pelerinage des Gitans aux Saintes Maries de la Mer" takes place every year in mid May. Gypsies arrive from all over Europe a few weeks before the main festival days, the 24th and 25th May.  The pilgrimmage is Catholic but many Gypsies, Manouche, Gitans, Roma come to see their patron 'Saint Sara' and for the festival atmosphere, the yearly gathering of friends, the music and dance. Gypsies are still regarded with much distrust and racism, they are not liked by the shopkeepers but are well treated by the gentry, especially the Baroncelli family who were instrumental in making this officially a Gypsy festival. One Hundred years ago the Gypsies were not allowed into the church, as it is they still have to camp outside the town.

  • Liberation, L'Equipe and Le Parisien Newspaper front covers in France the day after the attack on the staff and journalists of Charlie Hebdo<br />
<br />
Ten staff including journalists, cartoonists and editors at Charlie Hebdo were killed the day before, when armed gunmen attacked the offices of Charlie Hebdo, killing twelve people including two policemen; four more are in critical condition. It is the deadliest terror attack in France for over fifty years. Charlie Hebdo is a satirical publication well known for its political cartoons. The newspaper had been threatened for making satirical images of the prophet Muhammad.<br />
<br />
As a solidarity action with the deaths at Charlie Hebdo many placards read "Je suis Charlie" translating as "I am Charlie (Hebdo)". Demonstrators hold aloft pens, brushes and crayons, in solidarity for their dead colleagues, symbolizing the profession of journalists and cartoonists who were killed. Many pens and candles have been placed in shrines throughout the city.
