I loved your description of the little art gallery/events space/community center/whatever. In Rodez, we have a tiers lieu but since I live a bit out of town, I don't get there much, although I went to an event there this summer and it was great. But that is a larger project.
I'm also interested in these smaller projects that give life to a city. I had hoped to write some up for my newsletter, but it's actually very hard to just plop into a city for barely two days and find out what's really going on. Obviously researching in advance can bear fruit, but there's already a lot of research to do just to figure the new city out.
I'll be interested in your Languedoc reports -- that's getting close to my territory.
It's great to see towns focusing on their internal dynamism. What was the event about?
You're right, it can be tricky sometimes. This time, the owner distributed leaflets in select boutiques, libraries, and cultural spaces in Béziers to boost visibility and targeted traction.
I'd love to explore and share more of it! Have you ever ventured around Béziers?
It was actually about a small business venture related to bringing tourists to the area. It was more of a party atmosphere, but it was fun.
I have been to Béziers but it was fairly quick. I need to get back…it’s on my list! I was more enchanted by Narbonne, and I feel like the two cities have totally different atmospheres.

Thank you so much, Betty!
