More photos from our map-reading day out (courtesy of J&M's birthday present)..
We didn't just see menhirs, dolmens and wild boar as you can ascertain from above. The first photo shows the remains of a Gallo Romaine tower not far from Bernard (you can see two of a wind turbine's blades sticking out from the tower - Ancient and Modern!)

A few weeks ago I posted a photo of a field of corn, just left to dry. Well they're still around (Photo 2). I'm sure you'll agree with me that leaving corn-on-the-cob for animal feed is criminal. Mind you I don't think I've ever seen sweet corn 'ears' for sale here. The French don't know what they're missing.

The last three photos were taken at L'Ancien Moulin de Rabouillères (otherwise known as Le Moulin Bots Pias which is local patois for "sabots plats", or worn-down clogs). It was built in 1819 and was used for grinding flour right up to 1955. The thatched open barn was just behind it - it wouldn't keep anything very dry nowadays!
