The recording studio
Rock fans may know that a music studio was located in Berre, where world famous albums were recorded. "The Wall" by Pink Floyd, "Jazz" by Queen. Paul Mac Cartney (Tug of war), Kate Bush and Elton John (21 at 33), Ringo Starr, the Alan Parson Project also worked here.
The name of the studio was "Super Bear". It's a pun, based on the name of the village, which in French sounds like "bear". It was destroyed in 1986 during the large fires which ravaged the place. The ruins have been renovated and became a Bed and Breakfast before they ended as a simple private house.
