Meuse

We live in the Meuse department of the Lorraine region in centre ville of a small but well-serviced little town with a licensed supermarket with butcher and delicatessen, a bakers, a shop which sells newspapers/tobacco/greetings cards/gifts/fresh flowers, a post office, a bank, a health centre with two doctors, chiropodist, etc. and a dentist.  We also have a pharmacy, petrol station, repairs garage, schools for infants, juniors and seniors and a training college for those wishing to work in forestry or care.  


In this very rural area we count ourselves lucky to live here as the majority of surrounding villages no longer have even a baker.


Our house is old and large.  My husband and I live on the first and second floors and our daughter and son-in-law on the ground floor. So we live separately but under the same roof. Our daughter and I communicate by internal 'phone or, more often, by e-mail with the occasional holler up or down the stairs!


The whole area really is beautiful with farmland interspersed by forested rolling hills and an abundance of water in rivers, canals, streams and lakes.


Our daughter and son-in-law own and run a fishing-holiday's business for British anglers.  Photos of the lake and the complex here:  www.scarper-carper.co.uk
