From the beginning.....

This is our first glimpse of La Croix Blanche, the house in Braye-sous-Faye, France, which was to become our home in October 2010. Our blog will tell the story of it's transformation and of our new life in the area.

Braye-sous-Faye is a small village of approximately 350 inhabitants in the Indre-et-Loire region of central France. It is 4 kilometres south of Richelieu  and approximately 26 kilometres north of Chatellerault. The chateau towns of Chinon and Saumur are both within an hour's drive.
