Frédéric Mistral in Grambois, Vaucluse (84)

At the side of the church in Grambois is a quotation from Frédéric Mistral's Lis Óulivado (1912) – meaning 'Les Olivades', or olive gatherings – into French as "Le paysan, en tout pays, est le support de la nation ; on aura beau faire des inventions, il faut que se remue la terre": Mistral is of course emphasising the vital importance of the peasant, the person who works the soil, in all countries.
