le "gaudre" des Peiroou (c'est actuellement un barrage)
Que veut dire "gaudre" à l'origine ? J'imagine que ça peut être de l'occitan.

Merci.

Explanation:
Leis aubre trefouli, lei gaudre s’aplanta,
Coumo à de souen dinda subre la liro antico..

Les arbres tressaillir, les torrents s’arrêter,
Comme aux sons modulés sur les lyres antiques..
