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!
