hamlet surrounded by mountains, deep in the Hautes Corbi?res; a
region where ruined Cathar fortresses rise starkly against the
skyline and place names are in both French & Occitan. Set in

wildlife with a climate varying from snowy winters to summer
Canicules. A selection from eight years of humorous &
informative e-mails accompanied by photos, chronicles their
continuing renovation and life in a small, scattered rural
community.
