Hiya, we're much the same, about 2 km from the centre of the village. When we arrived here, there was a baker, cafe and epicerie. now they have all gone, just the post office remains. Montluçon is about 25km away. it's so sad to see all the old shops boarded up. Tabac, butcher, old garage...

Hello, Fordgate1, I have only just been accepted as a member of this group, but wonder if I could also ask for any information you may have on the Kity 618. We have been looking for a more capable table saw than our 20 plus year, Power Pro from B&Q. I confess that we don't really have a great...

Hello, thank you for accepting my request to join your group. We share our time between the UK and France. Our little safe haven there has been a labour of love... like so many rural places in the middle of the country it has been a real challenge to bring the property from the ninteen fifties...
