Exhibition : Habiter et nommer l'espace. Boutzé et resté

An exhibition by the Centre d’études francoprovençales René Willien
 

How do people perceive their territory? How do words, places, and memories intertwine to shape a meaningful lived space?
This travelling exhibition invites visitors to explore the connections between the Francoprovençal language, local culture, and spatial experience.

Through photographs, historical and modern maps, audio recordings, and patois expressions, Resté and boudzé highlights how Francoprovençal communities name, inhabit, and shape their surroundings.

An invitation to discover a living intangible heritage at the crossroads of linguistic identity, collective memory, and sensitive geography.

The exhibition is open to everyone interested in understanding the deep connection between words and places, past and present, here and elsewhere.

Dates: Monday to Saturday, from 4 July to 30 August 2025
