ah yes a good French boulangerie is a blessing
I definitely like the rural quiet for vacations and maybe I'd get too bored at this point in my life, but I dream of buying one of those picturesque deserted tiny French ghost villages in its entirety some day. Or just squatting it

the first is tragic but all have a reason I guess..You can drive anywhere near and far and see empty properties some half fallen even.ljust left...Thinking some is so do with the dragonion laws on Wills... when your dead you don't know... but boy do some of the relatives go through hoops...some stuff still in place goes back to Napoleon Bonaparte..truly true...as for squatting no chance here be ok in the UK as squatters rights still exist...never get away with that here though.... |

That's interesting, and tragic, but those kind of delapidated places are also strangely beautiful to me. We actually had a discussion about it on this forum a while ago, relating to Detroit and such. Pity that they aren't easy on squatters in France.

Now take Louis the XIV dictated to his people murder the Protestants at all costs, make them outcasts send them into the desserts. Torture and Murder the men folk and rape the women or just throw them in prison with the children and let them suffer.... Many thousands fled to non catholic countries and Soho London 1700's had a population of 50% French living there...some figures for people who did not want to leave their motherland. No religion has been taught in State French Schools since the 1900's. We still have churches that are mainly beautiful and the upkeep is done on a regulatory basis,but they are used for special occasions as a norm .My husband's family on one side are decedents of French Huguenots so know quite a fair portion of the History and I am fascinated by all that occurred mostly because of Louis XIV...Napoleon improved life for the people of his Country as a whole... Rather long, but hey it is there if you want to trawl through sometime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon |
