Are you in the market for a farmhouse to renovate in the Loire Valley region of France? If so, I've done a little preliminary scouting for you. More properties here. You're welcome.
So when are you packing up your bags and emigrating Liane?
There are a lot of troglodytes villages in the Loire region, one fourth of people in central France lived in excavated dwellings during the Middle Ages mostly for protection during non stop wars. Most of them have been converted to B&B, art galleries, museums and some are still inhabited.
Thank you for the information Lambert. That is so interesting.
I would think a cave would be quite an interesting home... I used to dream as a child of moving to Coober Pedy, Australia and being an opal miner living in a cave!
