January 16 - our neighbour village

Ooooh, I missed a day! :-( I hope to make up for that today by posting several photos, I took the kids to our neighbour village for a walk and some pictures and thought I'd show you some, so that you can see what France looks like, or at least, the part of France I live in.

First a little overview of what you see when you're at the entrance of the village. It's an old, stone village, quite cute actually. And a closer look at what I think must be main street, or one of them :-)
Just outside the village I saw this "barrage" in a tiny stream, I'm not really sure how to call this. It might be where the women washed the clothes, once upon a time? (not sure at all!)

Next is just a cute spot in the village, I imagine it looks better in summer, with flowers, but isn't that true for almost anywhere?
And the last picture is one of a tree with red flowerish things in it, I was so happy to see some colour in a tree ;-)

Thanks for looking, I hope you liked the little I show you of my part of the world :-)
