It was strange but also rather lovely to see the photos of the old Post Office too - my mother lived there in that very flat shown by the net curtains, until she died in 2011. We are very proud of our village, and do try to keep it neat and tidy - and pretty, with tubs and baskets of flowers. Thanks you so much for the tour around the village!

They last with a little updated help. <br />Have a good week DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-67226919682027460212016-03-29T17:51:37.404+02:002016-03-29T17:51:37.404+02:00Thanks Linda for the lovely comment.

Not an area we normally go but perhaps we should think otherwise! There is not a lot about it on the internet so information was not easy to find. So glad we went to see the town and enjoy the fabulous choir.

And a honey festival to top it off. The church is beautiful, great ceiling, arches and all. And the fantastic architecture on the post office! It would definitely put our little post office here in Cary to shame. It is amazing how old and how well preserved so many structure there are, unlike ones here that are torn down all the time to make way for the new. Great post, Diane! I enjoyed reading it, just wish I knew French to understand the concert program. :-) Take carePamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158336083462589188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-28680849244285128332016-03-28T02:27:55.217+02:002016-03-28T02:27:55.217+02:00What a gorgeous place!
