De légendes en légendes
Bonjour,
Nous sommes des élèves du collège de l'EREA de Villefranche-de-Rouergue. Nous sommes partis faire une randonnée de deux jours entre Saint-Jean-de-Laur et le Saut de la Mounine.
Avant de faire cette randonnée, nous nous sommes rendus sur les lieux pour mesurer les pigeonniers, les cazelles, les fontaines... Plus tard, nous les avons reproduits sur un carton puis construits en petites pierres. Les miniatures ainsi réalisées sont exposées à l'entrée de l'établissement.
