On an early evening walk a couple of days ago we walked through the nearest village of Le Moustier and found this, what we thought at first was an odd street name sign, but is in fact a marker for the height of the last major flooding of the Vezere river on 4th October 1960 which was as you can see around 4 feet above Philippa's head.
Even though there was a worse flood in the 1940's, fortunately for us and our house, the flood plein when we signed for the property reaches the two front gate posts that you can see on the first main picture of this blog.
