Jupilles, la Brass'Vie
Is this a brewery? No... it's the Brass'Vie! Unusual? Ah, that... yes !
It doesn't need to be a big city to create incredible things. And here's a good example in Jupilles, with less than 600 inhabitants.
Here, as in many villages, the bistro was in agony, the bistro was dead.
Well, well, an association is created, takes over the walls, and here we go... and it started with an anthem, of course...
Hymme À la Brass'Vie
A bistro, it's reborn, it lives again,
Right side up, in your glasses.
A troquet for peace, for life,
It warms the deserts.
We share buddies, friends,
It's pear for dessert.
A treat, a good bread, a good crumb,
That's good air.
And hope in the coffee grounds,
Like the sun in the dark.
Welcome, to ideas, to thoughts,
On your lips, your smiles.
A hello, a kiss, a kiss,
It reawakens the pleasures.
A mom, a baby, a grandpa,
A lost traveler.
A kid, a dad, a beauty,
It shines in the coffee shop.
At the Brass'Vie, we bury death.
At the Brass'Vie, it's life we devour.
What else can I say?
All the spirit of the place and there! Congratulations to Guillaume Maussion for translating it so well!
As the place is not a bar, it is the membership to the association (five euros!) that will allow you to lean at the bar... on one side, or the other, since you can consume, but also serve! You can also, if you have some talent, serve in the kitchen to make... what you know how to make, and, very often, with products coming directly from local producers and from members' gardens.
La Brass'Vie de Jupilles... a wealth of activities!
Beyond the bar and restaurant aspect, you can take part in the "open stage", tales, songs, musical oxen, the electricity workshop, participatory workcamps (dry toilets in the making), philo talks, the music circle, the carpooling circle, etc., etc...
Is this the last jolt of a dying world, or, on the contrary, the first manifestations of life in a reborn world? If you're from the area, why don't you go for a walk, and if you're just passing through, well... drop in and see them!
