FR Au début de la Rue Grande, artère principale de la partie la plus ancienne de la ville, on peut voir ce panneau écrit en français, en anglais et en braille.
C'est dans la maison en face, au 14 rue Grande que Jean Giono vécu toute sa jeunesse, de sa prime enfance jusqu'à son mariage en 1920. Au rez de chaussée, se trouvait l'atelier de sa mère, repasseuse et, au 3eme étage, l'atelier de cordonnier de son père. Jean Giono décrits avec tendresse sa maison d'enfance dans beaucoup de ses écrits

Jean Giono
Jean Giono, né le 30 mars 1895 à Manosque et mort le 8 octobre 1970 dans la même ville, est un écrivain français.
Un grand nombre de ses ouvrages ont pour cadre le monde paysan provençal. Inspirée par son imagination et ses visions de la Grèce antique, son œuvre romanesque dépeint la condition de l'homme dans le monde, face aux questions morales et métaphysiques et possède une portée universelle.
Ami des écrivains Pierre Magnan, Lucien Jacques, André Gide et Jean Guéhenno, et des peintres Eugène Martel, Georges Gimel et Serge Fiorio, qui est son cousin issu de germain, il reste néanmoins en marge de tous les courants littéraires de son temps.
EN At the start of Rue Grande, the main thoroughfare in the oldest part of town, you can see this sign written in French, English and Braille.
It is in the house opposite, at 14 rue Grande that Jean Giono lived all his youth, from his early childhood until his marriage in 1920. On the ground floor, was the workshop of his mother, ironer and, on the 3rd floor, his father's shoemaker's workshop. Jean Giono fondly describes his childhood home in many of his writings

Jean Giono
Jean Giono, born March 30, 1895 in Manosque and died October 8, 1970 in the same city, is a French writer.
A large number of his works are set in the peasant world of Provence. Inspired by his imagination and his visions of ancient Greece, his fictional work depicts the condition of man in the world, facing moral and metaphysical questions and has a universal scope.
A friend of the writers Pierre Magnan, Lucien Jacques, André Gide and Jean Guéhenno, and of the painters Eugène Martel, Georges Gimel and Serge Fiorio, who was his first cousin, he nevertheless remained on the fringes of all the literary currents of his time.
