Monday, September 26: Festival in the meadow of my donkey (Meuse)
– (©Archives / La Presse de la Manche)
Madame makes him make a cup of chocolate sings the schlouck in the morning when he gets up
These lyrics come from the song “Mon âne” by Henri Dés. The donkey is the emblem of this Meuse music festival located in Evres-en-Argonne.
Fanned toes, I’m going to take a sunbath, sing the schlouck at noon at lunch
These lyrics are from the song The time to live of the French reggae group Broussai, which was programmed at the last edition of the festival, last August.
Standing up an army of reeds sings the schlouck in the evening at bedtime
These lyrics are from the song Citizens trees, by Yannick Noah, song committed to ecology. The objective of this festival is, beyond the music, to raise awareness of ecology.
Tuesday, September 27: The Cursed Manor (Vosges)
– @TourismeVosges
The schlouck of the day could inspire us with a film of a very particular genre
The cursed mansion is a huge interactive haunted house of more than 1000 m², located in Laval-sur-Vologne in the Vosges
The schlouck of the day adapts to the different times of the year
In the cursed manor, there are horrific animations with actors who change according to the times of the year, Easter, Christmas, Halloween…
The schlouck of the day, by a couple, was created
This haunted house was created by a couple of horror movie lovers, Yann and Christelle Janssens, who acquired an old Vosges manor in 2019.
Wednesday, September 28: Dam of the Maid Metz
– @VilleDeMetz
If the schlouck of the day was a historical figure it would be Joan of Arc
Lorraine’s most famous nickname in the world was “la pucelle”.
If the schlouck of the day was a movie it would be like a plane
In this French film released in 2015, Michel (played by Bruno Podalydès) has a passion for canoeing and kayaking. This sport is practiced precisely on the whitewater basin of the Digue de la Pucelle on the Ile du Saulcy. The French kayaking championship has even taken place there (in 2009).
If today’s schlouck were a religious establishment, it would be a convent.
This dam takes its name from a convent of nuns of the order of Saint-Augustin, called the convent of the Grandes-Pucelles, which was established there from the 11th century.
Thursday, September 29: KAS PRODUCT
– @KasProduct
The schlouck of the day could be a mirabelle plum burger
Kas Product is a music group from Nancy who was very active in the 80s. This group was formed by singer and guitarist Mona Soyoc, born in Connecticut in the United States (hence the hamburger) and keyboardist Spatsz, who was born in Lorraine (in Loisy, Meurthe et Moselle, where the mirabelle plum comes from).
The schlouck of the day was major in the artistic movement he represents
KaS Product is considered one of the major bands of the new wave scene in France, alongside other bands like Taxi Girl or Marquis de Sade.
Yet the activity of the schlouck of the day mainly extended over 5 years
Kas Product produced only three studio albums, Try out in 1982, B pass in 1983 and Ego eye in 1986. Even if a compilation was released in 1990, and even if the group remains quite cult even today, its activity productive mainly focused on 5 years, from 1982 to 1986.
Friday, September 30: ABBE GREGOIRE
– @History-image.org
The schlouck of the day was born in a city that evokes the alphabet
Henri Jean-Baptiste Grégoire, known as Abbé Grégoire, born on December 4, 1750 in Vého, a town in Meurthe et Moselle, which evokes two letters of the alphabet (VO).
The schlouck of the day is a fighter for equality
Abbé Grégoire is one of the main figures of the French Revolution. In particular, he calls for the total abolition of privileges.
We can remember the schlouck of the day in May
Father Grégoire also campaigned hard for the abolition of slavery. In France, the national day of memories of the slave trade and slavery and their abolition is May 10.
