Home on the Range

The highlight of our trip is staying with friends in their farm house in Roybon. (Where is Roybon?)

The location is truly remote. The nearest important towns - Vienne and Valance - are 50 kms away.


In true farm house fashion, the home comes complete with farm dogs and a wood-burning stove.
The family gets most of their fresh fruit and vegetables from their own backyard. Additional grocery supplies can be got from the farm truck that drives up to their front door twice a week.
And, finally, on the farm, day is done when the cows come home.

anonymous - yes. the french really live a lifestyle instead of just living.

wildgoose - the dogs are really lovely and living :)actually, the one at bottom of collage is a pedigreed pulli. she just doesn't look it because she's all dirty with matted hair.
