Chez Mika Sato // Lyon // Vaux-en-Beaujolais // 0,1 ha

Allô ? J’ai beaucoup débarqué à l’improviste, beaucoup dormi chez vous. À différentes époques de ma vie, à différents endroits du monde, en différentes circonstances. Avec l’Œnodyssée, l’incursion dans votre quotidien se poursuit mais de façon un poil plus anticipé. Devant en effet m’assurer de pouvoir jouer ma performance, je vous téléphone quelques semaines ou quelques jours avant de rappliquer.

Allô ? Quand je vous appelle, vous êtes en voiture, au bureau, hors d’atteinte, occupé. J’entends la pompe derrière Philippe Chatillon qui est en train de soutirer, ou le sécateur électrique de Michel Gahier en fond rythmique de notre conversation. Le propos est plus ou moins audible. On se fait répéter. On parle plus fort. D’un côté ou de l’autre, ça ne capte plus des masses. On est coupé. On se rappelle. Chacun de son côté. Plusieurs fois.

Allô ? Je débite mon boniment, mon pitch.  Vous me dites tout de suite : « - oui, pourquoi pas, j’aime bien ton idée », « - non désolé, je n’ai pas la place », vous ne serez pas là, vous hésitez : « - quelles sont les conditions ? » ou « - combien de temps resterez-vous ? » Vous voulez des précisions, je vous envoie un mail :  ce sera « - d’accord » ou « - une autre fois. » J’essaie d’insister le moins possible, d’entendre le refus. Si c’en est un vous m’aiguillerez vers un collègue et/ou ami, vous m’aiderez, de rebond en rebond, à trouver le bon havre.

Allô ? Quelque fois la conversation se prolonge et vous me dites des choses dont je me souviens plus tard, sur la route. Henri Montabonnet du Clos de la Bonnette à Condrieu tenant à mentionner l’influence du Rhône sur sa vigne et son vin, son attachement personnel et vibrant au grand fleuve. Henri Milan évoquant le tournage du testament d’Orphée de Cocteau dans une carrière des Baux-de-Provence, proche de ses parcelles.

Allô ? Mon dernier échange avec Mika Sato remonte à quinze ans. L’histoire qui nous a réuni je l’ai racontée six mois plus tôt à Osamu Uchida, premier vigneron à m’avoir ouvert la porte de son domaine . Avec mon amie la photographe Hélène David nous avions convaincu un magazine de nous envoyer au nord du Japon dans les pas du poète vagabond Matsuo Basho. Mika était notre interprète et notre fixeuse et nous avions pu compter sur son sens diplomatique et sa débrouillardise pour nous orienter et nous loger au gré des rencontres. 

Allô ? Á peine arrivé /rapide comme l’éclair /déjà vous partez (Chôsetsu)

Allô ? Mika est toujours aussi efficace. En quelques heures elle a dégoté un garage pour mon vélo et ma remorque, créé un groupe Whatsapp pour convier ses amis à une session de Rhapsode chez elle, dans le vieux Lyon, préparé des quiches et une soupe miso. Les engagements téléphoniques étant réversibles, je l’ai constaté tout au long de ce segment rhodanien, nous serons finalement cinq pour la performance. Trois adultes et deux pré-ados. Heureusement, comme je l’ai également vérifié depuis mon départ de Soulac-sur-Mer la réussite de la soirée ne dépend pas du nombre de convives présents. Je serai frappé ce soir par l’adhésion et la justesse des plus jeunes. Ce sont eux, Emi et Gustave, qui nous entraineront vers l’émotion.  

Allô ? Je vous ai gardé le meilleurs pour la fin : cette surprise de Mika lors de mon premier appel. « Tu sais, je fais aussi du vin…  du nat’… chez moi. » Les raisins viennent des vignes de son compagnon, Jérôme Balmet qui est installé à Vaux-en-Beaujolais. Une fois vendangés, ils sont rapatriés en voiture dans la cave de Mika où ils sont pressés et vinifiés sans soufre en amphore géorgienne. Nous y sommes évidemment descendus pour chercher des bouteilles et déguster. Une heure plus tard, c’’est orienté par la cuvée Petite Balmette 2023 que j’interprète, avec quel plaisir, un Orphée tokyoïte.

Allô ? Merci de rester en ligne.

"L'APPEL DE KAUFFMAN A ETE REJETE," La Patrie. May 31, 1933. Page 3. ---- Il voulait faire casser une sentence de trois ans de pénitencier pour conspiration. --- Rendant jugement, ce matin, la Cour d'Appel a renvoyé l'appel de Kauffman qui fut condamné trois ans de pénitencier par le juge Monette pour conspiration pour incendier le Château Quinté à Sainte-Marguerite. Kauffman alléguait d'abord dans son appel que la cour des Sessions de la Paix n'avait pas juridiction pour entendre cette cause. Cette objection a été mise de côté rapidement dans le jugement de la Cour d'Appel et on nota que la juridiction de la Cour des Sessions, devant laquelle fut instruit le procès de Kauffman ne saurait être contestée. On prétendait ensuite en appel que la Couronne n'avait pas prouvé conspiration de la part de Kauffman. Le jugement de la Cour d'Appel passe alors en revue le fait que trois complices, les deux Larivière et Pelosse, qui ont été condamnés à diverses sentences, à la suite de l’incendie, du Château Quinté, ont témoigné dans la cause de Kauffman. Il est noté que ces dépositions auraient de être rejetées si elles n'avaient pas été corroborées par d'autres faits. On fait remarquer dans le jugement que plusieurs faits corroborent: les dépositions rendues, en particulier un chèque de Kauttman fait à tordre d'un des témoins en question.

Après une revue de quelques autres points de droit, la Cour d'Appel rejette l'appel de Kauffman. La Cour d'Appel a aussi rendu jugement dans les causes suivantes: Bélisle et Poisson, appel maintenu; London Life et Seguin, appel rejeté; Société des Prêta Coopératifs et Bourassa, appele rejeté: Syndicat Saint-Henri et Chatillon, appel maintenu: Ramany Vipond, appel maintenu; East-Fruit Co. et Growers, appel rejeté: Merelile et le Roi appel rejeté: Prosocas et le Roi, appel rejeté: Banque Nationale et Ouellette, appel maintenu: Dupré et Jupré Quarry. appel maintenu; Baird et Thompson, appel rejeté. L'APPEL DE MENARD La Cour d'Appel a aussi rejet l'appel de Joseph Ménard, qui enregistrait appelé d'une condamnation a quinze jours de prison et cent piastres d'amende pour libelle criminel. Ménard invoquait qu'il avait déja été condamné à $1,000 de dommages en Cour Supérieure, pour faire casser cette sentence de prison.

The morrow of St. Bartholomew

After the good news had come from Rome, the king pointed a day, on the morrow of St. Bartholomew (25th August 1298), when the holy body should be raised. When he body was raised, the Archbishop of Rheims that then vas on whom God have mercy! and my Lord Henry of filers, my nephew, -who was then Archbishop of Lyons, bore t first in hand; and afterwards it was borne by many others, is well archbishops as bishops, more than I can name: they lore it to a platform that had been erected.

Then preached Brother John of Samois; and among the Other great feats that our saintly king had performed, he elated one of the worthy deeds to which I had borne testimony in my sworn declaration, and of which I had been fitness; and he spoke thus; “ So that you may see that he was the most loyal and upright man in his time, I will tell you that he was so loyal that he held a covenant he had made with the Saracens, though he had made it by simple word of mouth only, and if so be that he had not held it, he would have gained ten thousand livres and more.” He told them all the story as I have already told it above. And when he had told them all, he said: “ Do not think I am lying to you, for I see before me such a man as testified to us of this thing, and did so on oath.”

After the sermon was ended the king and his brothers bore back the holy body to the church, with the help of their lineage to whom this honor was due; for a great honor had been done them, if so be that they approve themselves worthy of it, as I have said above. Let us pray to the sainted king to ask God to give us what is needful for on souls and bodies bulgaria tour. Amen!

JOINVILLE SEES ST. LEWIS IN A DREAM, AND ERECTS AN ALTAR TO HIM

I will tell you yet again of tiling’s that are to the honor our saintly king, viz., what I saw when I was in my be asleep; and it seemed to me, in my dream, that I beheld him before my chapel at Joinville; and he was, so I though marvelously joyous and glad at heart, and I myself WE right glad to see him in my castle; and I said to him: “ Sin when you go hence, I will lodge you in a house of mine, th£ is in a city of mine called Chatillon.” “ And he answered mi laughing, and said to me: “ Lord of Joinville, by the fait I owe you, I have no wish so soon to go hence.”

When I awoke I set myself thinking; and me seemed would be pleasing both to God and to the king if I lodge him in my chapel; and so I did, for I built him an altar, 1 the honor of God, and to his honour, and there masses shall be sung in his honor for ever; and a rent has been established in perpetuity that this may be done. And the: things have I told to my Lord King Lewis, who is the ii heritor of his name; and methinks he would do what agreeable to God, and agreeable to our sainted King Lewi if he procured relics of the true holy body, and sent them 1 the said chapel of St. Lawrence at Joinville, so that those who come hereafter to the saintly king’s altar may have t! greater devotion.

Count Peter and his people

When they had passed, and the Turks saw that we were guarding the bridge, and turned our faces towards them, they ceased from following after Count Peter and his people. I came to the Count of Soissons, whose cousin-german I had

married, and said: “ Lord, I think you would do well if you remained to keep this little bridge; for if we abandon the little bridge those Turks whom you see before you will rush over it, and so shall the king be assailed both in front and in rear.” And he asked whether, if he remained, I would remain with him? And I replied, “ Yes, right willingly.” When the constable heard this, he told me not to move from thence till he returned, and that he would go and bring us help.

JOINVJLLE, ATTACKED BY THE SARACENS, CONTINUES TO HOLD THF BRIDGE

There I remained on my thick-set stallion, and the Count of Soissons remained on my right, and my Lord Peter of Neuville on my left. Then behold there came a Turk from the direction of the king’s troops, which were behind us, and struck my Lord Peter of Neuville from behind, with a mace, so that he laid him on his horse’s neck with the blow that he gave, and then sprang across the bridge are rushed among his own people.

When the Turks saw that we would not abandon the little bridge, they passed over the streamlet and set themselves between the streamlet and the river, as we had done to go downwards; and we drew towards them in such manner as to be ready to charge them, whether they wished to go towards the king or to pass over the little bridge.

In front of us were two of the king’s sergeants of whom the one was called William of Boon, and the other John of Gamaches, and the Turks who had come between the stream let and the river brought a large number of churls on foot, who pelted them with lumps of earth, but were never able to force them back upon us. At last they brought a churl on foot, who thrice threw Greek fire anthem. Once William of Boon received the pot of Greek fire “oh” his targe, for if the fire had caught any of his garments he must have been burned alive.

We were all covered with the darts that failed to hit the sergeants. Now it chanced that I found a Saracen’s gambeson (quilted tunic) lined with tow: I turned the open side towards me and made a shield of the gambeson, which did me good service, for I was only wounded by their darts in five places, and my horse in fifteen. And it chanced again that one of my burgesses of Joinville brought me a pennon with my arms, and a lance head thereto, and every time we saw that the Turks pressed too hardly upon the sergeants, we charged them, and they went flying.

The good Count of Soissons, in that point of danger, jested with me and said: “ Seneschal, let these curs howl! By God’s bonnet ” for that was his favourite oath “ we shall talk of this day yet, you and I, in ladies’ chambers. customized daily istanbul tours”

JOINVILLE REJOINS THE KING THE SARACENS ARE DEFEATED, AND THE BEDOUINS PILLAGE THEIR CAMP

At night, as the sun was setting, the constable brought us the king’s dismounted crossbowmen, and they placed them selves in rank before us; and when the Saracens saw them setting foot to the stirrup of their crossbows, they fled and left us there. Then the constable said to me: “ Seneschal, this is well done. Now do you go to the king, and do not leave him at all until such time as he enters his pavilion.” So soon as I came to the king, my Lord John of Valery came to him and said: “ Sire, my Lord of Chatillon asks you to give him the rearguard.” And the king did so right willingly, and then moved forward. And as we were going, I made him take off his helmet, and lent him my steel cap, so that he might have air.

When he had passed over the river there came to him brother Henry of Ronnay, Provost of the Hospitallers, and kissed his mailed hand. And the king asked if he had any tidings of the Count of Artois, his brother; and the provost said that he had news of him indeed, for he knew of a certainty that his brother, the Count of Artois, was in paradise. “ Ah, sire,” said the provost, “ be of good comfort herein, for never did King of France gain such honour as you have gained this day. For, in order to fight your enemies, you have passed over a river swimming, and you have discomfited them, and driven them from the field, and taken their engines, and also their tents, wherein you will sleep this night.” And the king replied: “ Let God be worshipped for alf He has given me ” and then the big tears fell from his eyes.
