Coucou La Coué on our Sunday stroll.

While out for a very cold walk on Saturday we met  up with some of our neighbours who were also braving the freezing temperatures. We discussed some of the local walks during which the subject of  La Coué came up, a little hameau we had visited during a previous Patrimoine weekend and the fact that it might be a good place to include as part of our walks. 

So as yesterday's weather took a turn for the better I had a quick look at how we could include it. It meant walking along the main road towards Chambon before taking a left up a road marked as a dead-end, something that Pauline finds less than inspiring. Even my reassuring her that their would probably be a path to continue on didn't convince her. There was and it meant we did not have to trespass  through the farm the road had led us to. As we headed further into the countryside I was less sure of exactly where we were but a small group of houses to our left looked like a likely target but again Pauline felt it was only leading to a private dwelling and as you can see from the distance she put between us was again showing a degree of reluctance.

As luck would have it it proved to be the right choice and as we arrived we recognised we had in fact arrived at La Coué. 

Here is the 15th century house that had brought us here for a visit during Patrimone weekend. 

From here it was back via the Chaumussay road to Barrou which looks towards John and Maureen's little hameau.
