Trois mois sous la neige: Journal d'un jeune habitant du Jura

Description

A young shepherd from the Jura records his daily life as the mountains become a sea of snow, offering listeners an intimate portrait of a world few have seen. He describes the rugged valleys, the stone chalets roofed with pine slats, and the relentless rhythm of tending cattle and turning milk into firm, mountain cheese. Through his eyes we hear the quiet celebrations of departure and return, the sparse meals of dairy and fresh‑baked bread, and the simple comforts of a hearth that warms both milk and spirit.

The journal also paints the broader landscape of the Jura, from its lofty peaks that linger under snow to the verdant pastures that awaken in spring. It captures the self‑reliant craft of the villagers—carving tools, making furniture, and trading their handiwork across the region. Listeners are invited to share the modest joys and hardships of a life lived in harmony with the harsh yet beautiful mountain cycle.
