There are a number of places round here that are like this.... Tournan St. Martin used to be bustling 4 or 5 years ago... now when we pass through on the way to the 'lower' Brenne it seems as though the soul has been sucked out! Closed shops, loose dangling shutters and poor paintwork... and no one around. In the 'season' the newly done up Hotel had an air of desertion about it... in Tournan St. Pierre [next door by a whisker] the opposite hold true... and the shop for both communities looks very busy. St.M is in 86 and St.P is in 37... is it down to department? Or a Mayoral choice perhaps?

Must be lunch time, not a soul in sight LOL Diane
Yes, Diane, I suppose that must be it! Although you get the impression there would never be a soul in sight there!
