Local solidarity was invited to the Spring of Colors to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Myriade association. Despite the heat, several hundred people celebrated four decades of welcome and mutual aid.
Under a blazing sun which already heralded summer, Créa was the setting this Saturday for the Spring of Colors, an anniversary edition as hot in emotions as in temperatures.
Despite the early heatwave, there were several hundred of them present to celebrate the 40 years of commitment of the Myriade association, transforming the courtyard of Crea into a human garden where laughter, music and the scent of world cuisine mingle.
Forty springs of welcome and solidarity
Since 1986, Myriade has patiently weaved her web, Ariadne’s thread for generations of Millavois, exiles, families in search of a roof, a word, an outstretched hand. This Saturday, forty portraits – forty faces, forty stories – came to life on the walls, a living memory of an association that knew how to dance with time.
From glove workers to Larzac legionnaires, from distant exiles to contemporary dramas, Myriade has folded its sails without ever losing direction: welcoming, listening, accompanying.
“Here, we don’t count origins, we count smiles”, says a volunteer, holding out a glass of mint tea, a symbol of this borderless hospitality which is the signature of the association.
