A little village surmounting Saint-Rémy de Chargnat, historically famous. It had a castle, destroyed on orders of Richelieu, which had previously been the residence of Marguerite de Valois (the Reine Margot).
It is a favourite destination of ours for end-of-year visits as an optimum point of proximity/outstanding beauty and inspiration. I had a school friend (Vignal) who lived there.
The church of Usson (Église Saint-Maurice), in December 2005.
With Fabrice's parents and Onyx.
With its chapel, it stands 7m high. The baby Jesus holds wheat.
With Lionel and his children, and Ingrid.
