In my previous post, I mentioned our troubles getting access to the cottage. Once settled in, we loved it. While it is located in the remote village of Lison, with a lot of help from our rented Garmon, we discovered we were not that far from all of the places we wanted to visit. We love finding these places to stay that are so much more fun and interesting than a boring hotel. We get to shop at the local markets and end up saving money by not having to eat out every meal. Here are some shots of the cottage and the surrounding neighborhood:

Looking west from our front door. This is an agricultural community and the fields start next to the neighbor's place across the street.
Our cottage was on Rue de l'Eglise and in French eglise means church. Once we figured that out, all we had to do was find the church - the cottage was right across the street.

As we were leaving the cottage on Armistice Day we discovered a memorial service going on in the cemetery at the church. Here is what the towns people left at the memorial.
Here are some shots inside the cottage:
Thank goodness the wood was chopped and George quickly mastered making a fire in the Ben Franklin stove. It really did keep the cottage cozy all night. It was so relaxing to return to the cottage after a day of touring and taking photos to enjoy a light supper and edit some of the photos taken that day. There was no TV or radio - what peace! We did have wi-fi, or as they say in France, WEE-fe.

These shots are from the back yard. It would be a lovely spot to have dinner outside during the summer.

The farm house was in walking distance of our cottage:
