French people have got a special affinity to old things.They often live with the furnitures of their family over generations. That´s great, I think. My Paris friend Annemarie often says, that the French spend more money for food and wine than for anything else. That could be true.<br />I love the movie "A good year". It shows a perfect picture of french lifestyle. The special atmosphere in the movie, that is good old France for me.<br />Best wishes BarbaraCountrylovershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645936014233061104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-71804429102578710882016-03-04T10:45:09.912+13:002016-03-04T10:45:09.912+13:00it looks beautiful and sounds very quaint and frie...it looks beautiful and sounds very quaint and friendly!TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-74482262408355057172016-03-04T10:02:52.507+13:002016-03-04T10:02:52.507+13:00I would love a place to go and chat with with the ...I would love a place to go and chat with with the locals not sure about doing the washing there.<br />Merle.........Merlesworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573975763012762631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-66981855721380361372016-03-04T09:35:42.639+13:002016-03-04T09:35:42.639+13:00I love the idea of the laviage -- laundry more fun...I love the idea of the laviage -- laundry more fun with friends!

I am so excited. Thanks for having the button in your sidebar. My daddy is French so I, too, am in love with France. His name is Eugene Marseilles Hornet..and lived to 100 1/2...and that name is about as French as you can get. It is so exciting to learn your grandchildren are there so you have the excuse to go and go and go. I loved this series of pictures. They are all so pretty. Your last shot with the flowers boxes is so French. What a precious place. So glad you included the history of it. Take care, and please come back and see me again.

Gosh, I am glad that I don't have to do my laundry at the lavage, although I can imagine it as a meeting place. Nowadays, I hope that washing machines take care of the hard work, and that the village folks can meet elsewhere for their catching up!<br /><br />I am curious to know if children growing up in this village are able to remain there, or nearby, as they grow into adulthood.<br /><br />Those walls and gates are beautiful. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-4694885568836213652016-03-04T04:18:02.531+13:002016-03-04T04:18:02.531+13:00Thanks for sharing this quaint village with us.
