A day out - The Chateau Carrouges


One of the great pleasures of living in Normandie is having places like this on your doorstep

Started in the 14th century as a fortified castle and then added to up to the 17th century. 


Surrounded by a fantastic moat


And with a fab courtyard


Kitchens to die for


And somewhere to entertain


Relax


and look out over the gardens


Even a quiet place to read


Unusually constructed from brick. This staircase was restored in the 1960's


A great place to spend and afternoon. If your ever in France look it up.

Spring Tiles


At last I can get some tiles down in the kitchen


Underfloor Heating all plumbed in


Boiler installed


The sun is out and Julia has even cut the grass
