Local info 2




A short distance away from us on the other side of Le Moustier is a beautiful, restored chateau which i recently have been told an interesting story about.

It was bought quite a while ago by a dutch couple, he was the inventor of the low energy (12v) bulb and over a span of about 7 years restored the chateau to its former glory. Unfortunately, 4 years ago, after all the work was completed, he died. His wife soon after put it on the market but changed her mind and now lives there permanently. Every night, in memory of her husband, all the rooms in the chateau have the curtains open and the lights on making it a spectacular sight when passing.
