Here's my youngest on the first carolling event of the season with @amingtonband - and what a lovely evening it was at Austrey! Just simple, traditional Christmas pleasures. Congrats to all the hard working volunteers who made this happen in the village! 🎅

Les Petites Cités de Caractère and Les Plus Beau

Les Petites Cités de Caractère and Les Plus Beaux Villages de France are two lists where you might just find the perfect place to buy your dream property in France. I have just added a post about these two valuable lists on my website. This photo is of Collonges-la-Rouge, the village which was actually instrumental in launching the Plus Beaux Villages de France Association in the first place. Isn't it just gorgeous?

I've just aded a guide to buying a house in Sancer

I've just aded a guide to buying a house in Sancerre to my website. Sancerre is a beautiful little medieval city in France. Although relatively small, it has a fascinating history and a vibrant community. As a bonus, it is within walking distance (about 25 minutes) of the lovely Canal Latéral à la Loire. It has a wonderful regional gastronomy, which includes Sancerre wines, goat cheese, speciality cakes, and honey.

I've just added a canalside home for sale to my website. It faces the Canal Latéral à la Loire in Ménétréol-sous-Sancerre, in the Cher department of France. The property is currently on the market for €99,400. It's just to the left of this photo, which taken from the nearby canal bridge. Ménétréol is a gorgeous little agricultural village just 5 minutes from the beautiful little town of Sancerre.
