Yesterday's short walk took us out of Le Grand-Pressigny up along Route des Roches. The road along the rock face has a number of little troglodyte dwellings cut into the rock-face and over the years have been (and some still are) used for living in and for storage of some kind or another.



As part of the walk we were invited onto the property of friends where they have a major project of restoration of the main house on the site. Inside is being sympathetically restored to a high standard in what can only be described as 'a labour of love'.

We also got to view the caves from where the stone to build the house was sourced, adding to its provenance.




We then headed down onto the Le Petit-Pressigny road and back to the village.
