A happy new year to all of you.

The mayor of Javerlhac made a speech on Monday, he talked about all the tourists that visited the area and the new "boite à livres" (There are some books in Englisch). He just forgot to mention that our association opened the tourist information and had the idea of the book shelf.

A missing painting  -  by webmaster

A painting was given to the church of Javerlhac in 1849. It is not mentioned in the inventory of 1906 and nobody has seen it. Maybe it is still somewhere in an attic
