Chrissie brings us this piece from Sud Ouest about Viggo's recent visit to Sare in the Basque Country where they awarded him the knight's medal and beret.

L'acteur Viggo Mortensen, qui incarne le personnage d'Aragorn dans la trilogie du «Seigneur des anneaux», était de passage à Sare dans le Pays basque, mi-août et plus particulièrement à l'hôtel-restaurant Lastiry. L'acteur américano-danois, grand amateur de palombes, avait fait spécialement le déplacement de Tolosa où réside sa belle famille, pour déguster celle de Sare.
Au dessert, il a eu «la surprise et la fierté», dira-t-il, de se voir intronisé en tant que chevalier d'honneur de la palombe du village. Il s'est vu remettre sa médaille de chevalier et un béret basque. Il n'y a pas d'ambassadeur mieux positionné pour respecter le serment qu'il a naturellement prononcé à savoir « valoriser le volatile sur la terre entière».
Il devrait être de retour l'année prochaine pour une nouvelle visite gourmande. On a hâte de l'entendre pour sa première année en responsabilité de la promotion de l'oiseau bleu.
