Some of the small villages around here are re-discovering their heritage. This local church was cleaned up about five years ago and they discovered a range of frescos inside the church which have been restored. As it turns out, there is, to us, a lot of colour inside these places. There are quite a lot of Romanesque churches around the place and so we did check out a few as we were passing through.
For anyone considering a secondary home, we have come to understand that you would have a very wide range of opportunities in this part of France, providing you were not going to die for a local coffee shop and boulangerie. Possibly a bit difficult a concept for generally city based Australians, but we could see the sun and land hungrier English becoming interested here. Despite what we have read about real estate in the Vienne, there appear to be endless opportunities in the hamlets around here.
