Sophie Z'OursI promised you i would share the photos I would take while discovering the countryside around our new village.
So here we go...
I'd better tell you I have no clue how many parts i will make!
Right.
Here begins the story.
Once upon a time, a young couple of people living in a tiny flat at the periphery of a big town (Le Mans-France). With time going, they began to think their flat was two small and decided they would love to buy a house in the countryside.
They searched and were not long to find THE house. This house happens to be in a very small village with only 324 inhabitants. This village has got the funniest name : La Chapelle Aux Choux. That would translate into : Cabbage chapel. :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: Why such a name? That is an old story, but to make things short, there used to be in the past lands of cabbages near the chapel that were given for free to poor people.
This village is deep in the countryside and near a river called The Loir.
At the end of the afternoon, we took our bicycles and went for a ride on the small road following the Loir during a few kilometers.
There we are on a small red bridge just exiting our village (we look backwards).
Here is a view from the bridge.
And then we follow the road that goes alongside a hill and The Loir.
First interesting thing to see is an old paper fabric :
Guess why i took that last photo???? birdhouse!!!!
Well, not to annoy you, but it is too late to go further as I need to go to bed.
So more to come asap.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
