FÉLIX BASSABER

Félix Bassaber, a retired landless shepherd. Throughout his life, he was able to observe these mountains evolve inexorably. With Grégoire, 26 years old, he climbs every year in summer at the cayolar of Eltzegainia in Ahüski in the Arbailles, practice manual shearing and milking. A beautiful story of transmission between a former shepherd and a young purist wanting to prove that ancestral methods can also be the future of pastoralism.
