Return to Poil Rouge!
Denyse and I are off today to beautiful Poil Rouge. Poil Rouge is a hamlet in charming St-Gengoux-de-Scissé, strategically located in the Northern Mâconnais.
The locals describe the Poil Rougien life style as being exquis!
The Famous Louis/Dressner Compound in Poil Rouge Sud
It always takes us a while to get set-up. There are cobwebs (in French, they call this toiles d'araignée, mouse nests (in French, they call this un nid de souris, dust (in French, they call this poussiére), house repairs (bricolage) and lots of mosquitoes (moustiques) to keep us busy during the first few days.
We have to set up home and then go to the Loire Valley and rub shoulders with all the famous vignerons in the Loire making high acid wines when there isn't global warming.
It is kind of like leading a double life. The French countryside remains largely IPHONE free and there is a whole other culture there. Believe it or not, I'm the only person in Poil Rouge with a Blog!
perhaps i will pay a visit. the penguin.
Time stands still in France - The place remains unchanged from last year.
La plus c'est change, la plus c'est la meme chose.

Unfortunately, the citizenry of Poil Rouge steadfastly refuses to blog. They seem to associate blogging with Sarkozy and cough and roll their eyes a lot. We have a plan to start fake blogs for the locals that will include lots of made up local gossip. We should be up by August!
Do your plans include having some baked Crottin de Chavignol with a glass of Sancerre? If so, please take a picture for your blog. Thanks!
Perhaps if they understood the need to blog to keep one's sense of humor alive...
Better to be nouveau than never to have been riche at all.
I subscribed to RSS and did not get this update. You should look into that.

I got the RSS update.
I get the update as a blank "+" in the reader. I still have to click on it every time to see what's new. Luddite!
I want a country house in France too! This sounds toooooo fun!
Thanks for the French translations of cob webs and mouse nests etc.
