François:

Bonjour from Louisiana.

Thank you for your most gracious and generous offer of assistance to anyone
planning to visit France. I have found a number of people who live in France
whao have been most helpful to me and also have offered to assist me if and
when I travel to France.

While surfing the internet, I came across a most gratious and generous person
by the name of Barbara Reed who sent me a collection of photographs of the
Stone Church at LaChaussée and the Acadian Farm Village at Archigny.

Barbara and her husband Chris live at Paizay le Sec, which is a village
between Chauvigny and St. Savinoperate, where they converted an old barn next
to their house into a spacious Gîte.
For those who are not familiar with a Gîte, Barbara describes it as a "Bed
and Breakfast" where you make your bed and cook your own breakfast.

you can visit Barbara and Chris's home page at:
