Not Quite a Chateau DIY 259 – Tour de France Special – Just yards from Chateau de Colombe –

The route for the Tour de France, stage 10, was at the end of the road leading to Patrick and Stuart’s Chateau, so they hosted a lunch party and then we all went to see the spectacle…

We are Tony and Jane and we are living in and renovating our old Relais De Poste/Coaching Inn.
We live in the middle of France in a region called The Berry.
We have over 40 rooms to renovate so there is plenty of work to be done. We also love to trawl the local Brocantes, flea markets and antique shops for quirky furnishings and furniture.
We love to find out about local history and often visit other peoples buildings including our friends’ Chateaux.
