The first guests to rent our former home, the Villa Les Cypres had there first week and seemed to like it so much so they booked for a fortnight next year! We had our first ' change over' with 3 ladies arriving from Nova Scotia.
The walls now completed this is now our home! we will put 3 metres of grass in front of the wall , space for sun beds, then a deck then the pool.



The week between 7th July and the 14th saw another change in clients at Les Cypres, this time a Belgium family staying for a fortnight,a visit to Avignon buying sinks, tiles and beds!shear luxury!pool cleaning and tourist guide!and of course some socialising in the village!the culmination of which was Bastille day on July 14th when our village holds a huge Vide (empty)Grenier(loft/roof space). Like UK car boots it starts at some unearthly hour and is attended by hundreds if not thousands of people selling there toot!
Here is Karen thinking she has spotted a bargain!

Our purchase of the day was a ladder used for Cherry tree picking! very old but lovely and just 15€! And the lady has a house to sell nearby so we are going to see her!

The narrow village streets are buzzing with stall holders selling there xxxx!



But its good for the village, all the locals are out and the shops and bars do great business! The event ends in the evening with fireworks.
