The house is in a hamlet, not a village. One side there is a road, that isn't busy but when cars go by, they go by fast! We have also seen countless cyclists. Tour de France material.
The entry side of the house is on a quiet square that also contains the boule court, the school and the church. The garden has 2 ponds and 2 levels. Lots of space for the kids to explore and lots of interesting things in the pond to catch.
This pond is a little deeper and 2 of the kids have fallen in. Luckily it is not over anyone's head but still scary. The lily pads and flowers are beautiful. The things the kids have found in them have provided hours of entertainment and Show 'n Tell items for school. They've found tadpoles galore.
Dryers don't exist here and with the mistral we don't really miss it. In fact, the clothes dry so quickly that it surprises us. It is kind of soothing to be doing it the french-way; hanging our clothes to dry.
