Chemin du Ronde is a circular road around the village. There are only three streets (rues) within the village: Rue des Lierres (Ivy Street, where we live), Rue du Levant and Rue du Lavoir (Wash-house Streeet). Apart from that there is only the Town Hall Square (or Place de laMairie).

First a walk anti-clockwise around Chemin du Ronde, from just past the Cross at the bottom of Rue des Lierres.

Xavier's house (left) and Raphael's (right). In the middle is the back of our house.
You can see our radio mast (G4UXD/G4WXL) and our flat roof. Photo: Ron from Holland
