Along the water, an Alesian day weaving entertainment with knowledge and awareness

Une journée Nature et ruralité, cadre des premiers gestes de pêche pour Giulia, 11 ans. Midi Libre – STEPHANE BARBIER

Saturday May 4, on the banks of the Gardon d'Alès, the second edition of the “nature day & rurality”, initiated by the Gard fishing federation, supported by the agglomeration, was attractive.

This is surely the most “straordinario” of a first day of fishing. Saturday May 4, Giulia Virzi, rod in hand, enjoys repeating casts of a pink lure.
Under the gaze of her mother, Anna, an Italian teacher in Salindres, who for a long time told her how she had fined experienced fishermen from the Ustica golf course in her youth.
" I loved fishing and the fish came to me, smiled the one who was nicknamed, throughout the island, “professore pescatore”.

And, as if by inheritance, this passion has been passed on. Like the one shared, a little further on the bank, by Julien Sanmiquel, providing a fishing demonstration equipped with Smith equipment. A nurse by profession, in Mende (48) it was at the water's edge that he introduced new techniques to Nicolas Charaix, Randy Jordan and their sons.
The speech becomes more technical when the spectacle of the dog Padie swimming to the aid of a skateboarder feigning illness attracts people to the banks of the Gardon. Christophe Eck, aquatic rescue dog handler and owner of this 5-year-old Newfoundland, never tires of talking about the qualities of this mastiff. Arousing astonishment when he reveals that this dog has legs… webbed.

On the top of the banks of the Gardon, the Ribautain farmer Louis Julian, film in support, evokes the unfortunately little-known link between the earth and the climate, Adéline Constance evokes the promotion of castanéiculture founding cosmetics without water and initiating the creation of his company L’accent while Jean-Marie David, former restaurateur in Aramon, remembers the miracle of these shad fisheries on a Rhône that is now polluted’ hellip;

The opportunity also to discover innovations, respectful of the country and its water resources, like the cosmetics company Accent by Adéline Constance. Midi Libre – STEPHANE BARBIER
As the water flows, reflections are initiated, knowledge is enriched and, like rivers end at the sea, fuels awareness of a fragile element. To be preserved.
