The Village of Varennes sur Fouzon

 

 

The village fete is usually held on the last w/e in July when all the traffic is stopped so that a flock of local sheep can walk up the main street! There is country dancing on the car park. A very lively and colourful occasion!

 


 

The local bakery is a mere two minutes walk away. Like all French boulangeries there is a wide selection of bread, croissants and cakes. You can also buy basic provisions here. Enjoy!

 


 

The local church is at the south end of the village.  Opposite it there is a tabac and newsagents. You can buy telephone cards here, to use in the kiosk in the village, stamps, post cards and cigarettes.

 


 

The Hotel de France is a very friendly bar and the owner Natalie is an excellent chef. They offer good value meals in their restaurant. We especially enjoy the 10 Euros midday meal which is a self serve buffet for first course, followed by a hot course, cheese and dessert. And all accompanied with the local house wine-red, white or rose. Please note that this is so close that you can walk there and safely stagger back!

 


 

At the local mairie is the secretary, Francoise Fleury, who will help you in any way that she can. You can purchase fishing permits here. The River Fouzon is about a 10 minute walk from the house.

 


 

The village is like stepping back into time and has many interesting characters and, of course, an old Citroen!

 

There is also a hair dressing and nail care salon, a butchers (open Thurs, Fri and Sat) and a post office.


 

The local walks and fishing areas are well sign-posted and the whole area is ideal for cycling with its gently curving terrain.
