I’m exhausted. So much to take in. I wonder what it is like to live in a troglodyte house.
Upkeep, heating, lighting. At what time is your sun setting? The sky looked very bright.

Yes, we seem to have packed in an incredible amount in one day – it took me three to write the post :).
Today, on another bike route, we were invited into a troglodyte home so I’ll be able to answer your questions!
It is properly dark at about 9.45 pm at the moment, but still completely light until 9 pm.
I wonder how much of a connection to Ronsard the priory you mention has? It was not where he lived, worked or died (that’s the Prieuré de Saint Cosme in La Riche near Tours). Although he did move around a bit in the course of his official duties…

Yes, I thought you’d like it!
According to vendome-tourisme.fr, Ronsard was the prior from 1566 until his death in 1585. We haven’t been to Saint Cosmes either.

The castle ruins are a delightful sight among these shots. Beautifully photographed!
Thank you.
That church at Villiers looks jolly interesting.
