The word from the maire
There are times when, in the life of the Commune, choices have to be made even if the perspectives are still obscured. At the beginning of
November, Mme Varloteau, manageress of the bar (BEC A VIN), informed me of the definite closure of this establishment on December 31st
2015. The Council met on November 27th and expressed their wish to find a solution to retain a bar/ sale of newspapers and tobacco in the
village, and decided to purchase the alcohol licence 4 (that allows the sale of alcohol). A first meeting between the Chamber ofCommerce
and industry, the economical service of the assembly of the Community, the owner and the Commune. The research for a solution has
already started.
I take advantage of the publication to keep you up to date with the important dossier of restorations, bells, relics, pictures, and purchase of
show cases, the totality of the furniture of the church, Abbey, for an estimated € 64 124. To realise this operation we had to search and obtain
subventions from the state for €23 200. We had ,by the intervention of the Foundation of the Patrimony, already started a public subscription,
which has allowed us to collect €29 700, hence, the amount left at the charge of the Commune, after recovery of the VAT, is €2835; I wished
to keep you informed of the situation.
WORKS TO START IN 2016
Improvement of the area in front of the church: after waiting one year, the archeological digs have been completed; we await the results.
The continuation of the roadworks on the Route de Poitiers: putting the cables under ground ( electricity, public lighting and France telecom).
Creation and enlargement of more pavements to assure the safety of pedestrians. We are still searching for a solution for the evacuation of
rain waters, which are still causing us problems in this part of the village.

Healthy Earth of the
Poitou-Charentes
Our Commune without any pesticides
Our commune has decided to reduce the use of pesticides
Our Commune's decision to act in order to reduce the use of pesticides is due to the knowledge of the impact of the said pesticides to the health
and the environment. It wants to stop using them in public places such parks. Hence, by deliberation of the Municipal Council (03/07/15), the
Commune has taken the collective initiative put into place in 2009: the charter healthy earth of Poitou-Charentes: "Your Commune without
pesticides". This initiative guides the collectivities in their action to reduce the use of pesticides and valorise the efforts made.
This charter has for objectives :
-
The public health protection, especially for the employees of the Commune using these products and the inhabitants of the Commune
The protection of the environment, especially natural resources and biodiversity.
The objective to obtain a solution with "zero pesticides" in public, communal spaces.
The promotion of alternative methods.
You can act :
-
By cleaning up and maintaining the pavement in front of your house without desherbant off course.
By reducing or stopping the use of pesticides in your garden (lawn, terrace, flower borders or vegetable garden). A guide on this Charter is
available. An internet site helps with the development of this charter and informs the counsellors, the technical agents and the private
users:
http//www.terresaine-poitou-charentes.
A public meeting will be organised during January to inform you if what has been achieved so far, of what is possible to achieve and of
what we plan to achieve.
EXPOSITION
19 schools of the area have created some arts to take part in a competition: MANIFESTATION PASSAGE.
The theme chosen was the "birds of Massais" where the manifestation was held.
This exposition, of a great diversity of creation, touches our imagination, the bright vivid colours exited our senses. The children showed great creative
abilities.
This exposition can be seen at the Mairie, in the Council room, from January 11th to February 12th during opening hours.

THE MAIN DOOR
You have all noticed my imposing size at the entry of Pierre and
Michelle Guerineau. But, do you know my history?
I WAS BORN IN 1717
This year, a new abbot, Armand Bazin de Besons, aged 17 years, is
appointed to the services of the Abbey.
The monks decide to transfer the entry of the Abbey to a more
centralised position and build me instead of a tiny doorway in the wall
around the space dedicated to the monks, between the church and the
cellars (today the presbytery as from 1880).
Sold as national buildings in April 1791, many buildings were demolished
and I stayed in place until 1896, year of my demolition and reconstruction
in today's size, and such as the dimensions shown on the limits of
separation of the land given and buildings belonging to the consorts
Bouquet.
(Legal deeds established on May 18th 1896 and inscribed on a stone: my birth "certificate".

CONVERSION TO DIGITAL
TELEVISION AND HD
We remind all the inhabitants of the Commune that all
household rubbish MUST be deposited to the points of
collection designated. This is due to the difficulty of passage
with the dustbin lorry through the narrow streets of the village.
On April 5th 2016, we are being converted! Are you ready?
This change will happen during the night of 4th to 5th April this
year . This means that if you receive your television programs
through an ariel on the roof, make sure that your television is
compatible with the new digital and HD norms. Otherwise, after
the April 5th, you might be loosing your favourite soaps,
programs, etc..
Personal dustbins, etc, must be brought back in as soon as they
have been emptied.
Only household rubbish must be left at the dropping
off zones. Newspapers, glass, plastics, etc, must be deposited
in the recycling containers for this use: in DOURON and in
GERMON.
Check immediately and if necessary, you can buy and install an
TNT HD adaptor.

To facilitate the use of cleaner modes of car usage, our Commune has wished to install a recharging point
for electric and hybrid cars in Rue du Stade, opposite the shops.
TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Up to now, the users of electric and hybrid vehicles did not have the necessary equipment to re-charge
their vehicles in our Commune.
To support the development of this new and more respectful of the environment, mean of transport and to
simplify life for the more Eco-responsible ones of us in the Department, the Commune, in partnership with
the Syndicate of energy of Deux Sevres (SIEDS) has decided to install a re- charging point.
This project corresponds to the criteria of attribution linked to the works realised with the financial
contribution of the SIEDS (10%), of the Region through the " regional development of Eco-industries and
of electric vehicles" (20%) and of the state by a program" investments for the future" by the ADEME (50%)
.
Through these different sources, the Commune benefits of 80% of the total cost before tax, paid by the
SIEDS in relation to the purchase, installation and put into service of the post.
THE NETWORK OF POINTS OF RE-CHARGE
The SIEDS, within its scheme of promoting these points of re-charge, predicts that by the end of 2015,
close to 100 points will be available in Deux- Sevres. These should be available every 20 kms for normal
charge and /or quick charge; these points will be available 24h/24 and 7day/7, thanks to the members'
card.
In front of each point, 2 parking spaces are provided freely for the user's.
SEOLIS, the operator of the service, assures daily of the good working order of the service, by checking
the infrastructure with a special tool and several teams of engineers to ensure that the whole system
remains operational.
TO USE THE RE-CHARGING POINTS
Today, the posts are accessible to private users and enterprises. The cards of access are on sale on the
site www.alterbase.fr o r i n a n y o f t h e f i v e SÉOLIS agencies.

INFORMATIONS ON HOUSEHOLD
RUBBISH
Community of Communes of the region of Thouars
THE COST OF THE SERVICE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF HOUSEHOLD RUBBISH
How to calculate la TEOM?
The TEOM is the tax to dispose of household rubbish. This is calculated in function of the
value of the house. It is neither related to the amount of rubbish produced, or to the number
of people living in the house
What is its use?
This tax finances not only the collection of rubbish, but also the recycling, the treatment, the
management of the sorting plant and the cost of the structure.
To enable you to understand better, here is
the explanation of how the cost of disposal is
divided:

If tomorrow, people did not sort out their rubbish at all, each dustbin would weigh 500kg, which

On the reverse side of the coin, if all the inhabitants recycled all their rubbish correctly, the

Commitee of St-Jouin de Marnes
Hello to everyone,
As previous years, the different manifestations of 2015 have
mobilised an important number of people.
On June 13th was the 7th festival of music, with this year again,
a great variety of music and a large, enthusiastic public .
On July 25th, the 2nd edition of "the great meeting of the
inhabitants of St Jouin de Marnes" reunited more than 320
guests for lunch. The day was animated by a folkloric group who
got a great number of people on the dance floor with their
repertory of traditional Poitou dances. Several other activities
were offered such as: make-up, exposition of photos, game of
"palets"....All these diverse activities allowed people to pass a
very pleasant afternoon. Early evening, a meal was served and
the DJ played the latest CDs as well as the more nostalgic pieces
of music. The dance floor did not empty until 1 am!
On October 10th, the group Happy Gospel, with its director of
orchestra, its piano player and its 26 singers, animated the
evening in the Abbey, with songs that the fans were able to
appreciate.
On September 11th, 12th and 13th the week-end of the
"Relics", was another success despite a weather less than
inviting.
The Commitee of animation of St Jouin would be pleased to welcome
new members, so that the continuation of the manifestations can be
assured during the coming years. Come and join us to participate to
the animation of our village.
Dates to remember in 2016
- January 15th. AGM and "galette des rois" in the "salle des
Fetes" from 19h30.
- June 11th Festival of music
- July 23rd. Meal for the reunion of the inhabitants of the
village
- September 9th,10th,11th. Festival of the Relics
On Friday September 11th, bingo filled the "salle des Fetes". On
Saturday, the walk was punctuated by tasting of local
specialities. Some 180 walkers took part in this activity,
discovering the marshes of St Jouin and being fed along the
way. In the evening, everyone joined in a communal meal in one
of the squares of the village. It was on Sunday morning, for the
car boot, that the weather stopped play! A very wet forecast kept
the number of visitors and participants to a minimum, despite the
greater number of registered stall holders. The rain, although
rather persistent, did let out just long enough to allow some
hardy folks to come and support this famous car boot.
Best wishes to everyone for 2016.

RELIQUES ET RELIQUAIRES
Saint Jouin and Martin de Vertou are patrons saints of the old benedict Abbey
The official inauguration of the restored items of furniture of the
Abbey, Saturday September 19th, during the days of Patrimony
2015, and especially the 2 precious relics, shows once more the
importance
of
these
items
in
our
Abbey.
Even if we all are very fond of the festival of the relics in our
village, it is not certain that the origins of this festival are well
known. That is why I wrote this brief resume.
In the 4th century, a hermit monk, Jovinus or Jouin,
descending from a well known Gallo-roman family from the
region of Loudun, contemporary of Martin of Tours (founder
member of the Abbey of Liguge) and of Hilaire of Poitiers,
came to retire at the foot of the hillock where the present
Abbey is, in a place called Ension (actually village of the
castle) to live his ideal life and offered himself to the service of
God. The small community of disciples assembled around
saint Jouin, hence, gave birth to the monastery of Ension, one
of the oldest centre of monastic life in the west (with Liguge).
Towards the end of the 6th century, Martin de Vertou, founder
member of an Abbey at the doors of Nantes, became priest of
the monastery of Ension where he seemed to have introduce
the St Benoit's rule. It is for that reason that Saint Martin de
Vertou was equally revered as Saint Jouin as founder member
of the old Abbey.
The new Abbey grows and is moved from its original place
towards the hillock where the present Abbey is with the
vestiges surrounding it. Its fame spread through Poitou, Anjou
and to the limit of Brittany. At the end of the 11th century, the
pilgrimages drove the monks of Saint Jouin to build a new
Abbey. Unfortunately the relics of Saint Jouin and the ones of
Saint Martin de Vertou are dispersed or destroyed during the
wars of religion (16th century), as their original casks (made of
copper, silver, and gems). Today, only a few fragments of
Saint Jouin's bones are left.
The origins:
The festival of the relics is a tradition very dear to the hearts of
the inhabitants of St Jouin de Marnes. Its institution goes back
as far as the 12th century, more precisely in 1130, date of the
achievement of the construction of the actual Abbey by the
Benedict monks of the time. This church, magnificent realisation
of Roman architecture, then in full development, was destined to
receive the numerous pilgrims who had come to revere the relics
of local saints: Saint Jouin and Martin de Vertou, on the way to
Compostelle, Saint Jouin was a secondary stop. It is on
September 8th of that year,for the festival of the Nativity of the
Virgin Marie, that the dedication of the Abbey was celebrated.
It would seem that these relics in the casks so magnificently
restored and exposed in the show case in the chapel of Sainte
Marguerite (on the south-east side of the Abbey) do not belong
to the patrons saints of the old Abbey. Their presence in the
"treasure" of the old Abbey, results probably of the very
frequent transfers of the relics from one monastery to another
since the Middle Ages up to the more recent period (19th
century), due to the great power of protection that was
attributed to them. In fact, there are the remains of 2saints
martyrs during the first centuries of Christianity, the cult of
which expended in the Middle-Ages, Sainte Fauste, revered in
Berry (a village in Indre, her name) and Saint Celestin, Pope in
the 5th century.
By historical sources, we learn that ,on that day, an important
religious celebration during which, the then, Bishop of Poitiers,
came himself to celebrate the consecration during the service, to
the main altar in the church, with the monks of the Abbey,
members of the clergy and the nobles of the region and the
whole population of the village and its surroundings. You can
imagine the enormous crowd assembled in this magnificent
church, glistening in white, that the people did not tire to admire!
By the festival of dedication, the church became the sacred place
of the celebration of every part of Christian life. Saint Jouin and
Saint John the Evangelist became the patrons saints of the
church. You can still see their statues on the wall of the Abbey.
Happy 2016
This important festival became also the occasion for the
solemn veneration of the relics (or bones) of the patrons saints of
the old Abbey, Saint Jouin and Saint Martin de Vertou. These
were placed in the precious casks exposed on the main altar.
This is the origin of our festival of the relics. We must add, that,
in the honour of this great festival of our village, a popular fair
was organised on the vast squares of Saint Jouin de Marnes.
What is remarkable, is that the tradition of the festival of the
relics, religious and profane at the same time, remains today! It
is without doubt why the folks memory has retained the name of
festival of the relics, rather than festival of the dedication. The
date has stayed the same: the Sunday that follows the festival of
the Nativity of the Virgin Marie (September 8th).

Friends of the abbey of SaintJouin-de-Marnes
On December 1st, the association of the friends of the
Abbey, was given the price "Coup de coeur" from the jury of
the competition "Handi'Thouarsais", in appreciation for the
realisation of the ramps to enable handicapped and disabled
people to get access to the Abbey. The jury of this
competition, organised by the Community of Commune of the
region of Thouars, to encourage the actions in favour of
handicapped and disabled people, was especially keen on the
aesthetic quality of the work entirely financed by the
association. The friends of the Abbey were particularly proud
that their work was recognised by the jury. They received the
sum of 100€ which will be put towards the completion of this
work.
2015 was eventful for our association and bears witness to
the active presence of the Friends of the Abbey at the heart
of the Community.
Manifestations of last year
Two highlights of the season 2015
A high class concert of Misa Criolla of the Argentin Ramirez
with the participation of the young and promising Columbian
tenor: Juan Carlos Etcheverry and 2 local choirs: the Baladins
de la Tremoille from Thouars with the choir of the Val d'Or
from Airvault. The concert of May 31st has enchanted the
large crowd assembled in the Abbey. This wonderful,
enthusiastic and emotional moment was carried by Latin
American rhythm, the talent and the warm voice of this young
tenor and was closed by a long ovation from the many
assisting to the concert.
The 10th "nuit romane" of the Abbey, on Sunday August 2nd,
represented an important birthday for the association, and its
partners ( the municipality, the committee of animation, the
church community and the many helpers) involved in the
organisation of this event. It was a magnificent summer's
evening for nearly 2000 visitors who came specifically to be
part of the program. The group, singing ,dancing was
dynamic and talented. Their repertory " Sacred gypsy songs
from Provence", with, as a back ground, the fairy illumination
of the church. A spectacle unanimously appreciated by the
crowd. The presence of "the market of the local producers",
stalls of restauration on the site of the spectacle. This was
considered as a "plus" for the conviviality of the evening. A
very big "thank you" to all the voluntary workers who
contributed efficiently to the success of this 10th "Nuit
Romane".
A prestigious end of the season
The 2015 season finished beautifully with the Christmas
concert given by the group Josquin des Pres, which was sold
out, on December 13th. In a full Abbey, more than 60 singers
sang a Christmas voyage through the ages, to allow us to
discover with great pleasure the most beautiful classic
Christmases, and most popular repertory.
Projects for 2016
The AGM of the association will be held on March 12th, it will
be in the "salle des fetes" in St Jouin de Marnes.
The annual outing of the friends of the Abbey
Our annual outing, on Tuesday June 30th, had for destination
this year, the valley of the Gartempe with, beside others, the
discovery of the restored frescos of the Abbey of Saint Savin
and the visit of the village of Angles-sur-l'Anglin. For the 50
participants, members and supporters,
the day, although saddened by the
absence of the organiser, our friend,
Jacques Thinon, who died suddenly
on June 7th. It was for the association,
the occasion to rend homage again to
this missed and very much respected
member of the Council of
administration.
An annual concert is planned for June, as well as an 11th
participation of the "nuits romanes" during the first week of
August. The exact dates and programs will be given during
the
AGM.
The friends of the Abbey wish to thank everybody who
support them and encourage them since the creation of the
association or who has joined them since. We welcome any
propositions and participation of anyone wishing to help in the
cultural and artistic animation of the Abbey and to the
preservation of its patrimony, in the same spirit of openness
and voluntary help
