      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://echo.ayfiweb.fr/en/article/the-2027-budget-of-the-hauts-authority</guid>
      <description>24.6 million euros, 18.2 of them running costs. Six charts for six questions: where the euro goes, who provides it, what is rising, what is falling, debt per head, and what is left to fund.</description>

      <title>What the mill paid, what the sawmill pays</title>

      <description>A 1983 payslip in constant euros, a 2026 sawmill pay scale. The comparison vindicates neither those who mourn the mill nor those who celebrate the reinvention. It gives figures.</description>

      <title>14 June 1983, the mill&apos;s last day</title>

      <description>214 staff, 168 of them women. On 14 June 1983 the La Rive-Haute mill produced until 5.40 p.m. Hour by hour, what that last day was — the workshop register, the production book and six memories.</description>

      <title>The Sagnes tomme wants its PDO: what it costs, what it earns</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://echo.ayfiweb.fr/en/article/the-sagnes-tomme-wants-its-pdo</guid>
      <description>Eleven producers, 96 tonnes a year, a PDO application lodged in 2024. Set the cost of the specification against the premium per kilo, and two of the eleven do not cover their costs. They know it.</description>

      <title>Lake Fauge at 41 %: the season the dam said no</title>
      <link>https://echo.ayfiweb.fr/en/article/lake-fauge-at-41-percent</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://echo.ayfiweb.fr/en/article/lake-fauge-at-41-percent</guid>
      <description>41 % full on 12 August, the lowest reading since 1976. The operator of the Fauge dam refused the release three villages were asking for. He had no choice, and nobody had read the rule that forbade it.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://echo.ayfiweb.fr/en/article/who-decides-the-plateaus-water</guid>
      <description>Intake, treatment, distribution, sewerage, water policing: five tiers decide the plateau&apos;s water, and none of them can tell the other four what to do. First of a five-part series, from the intake to the shut-off.</description>
