Living in the Past | A Rare Snowfall in Chapet: 26/11/2005 |
In July 2002, we bought a house in Chapet, a small village about 40 km west of Paris. The population of the village is 1200. As you walk down the main street you feel like you have stepped back in time.
Pictured above, the center of the village. This building was once the school, Mairie (mayor's office), and library; although it no longer is a school, it still serves the two other purposes.
To get a feel for Chapet, visit the two travelogues below.
UPDATE: We've moved back to the US... outch. |

| Chapet: Farming in the Valley |
| | Life on the Ferme Chapet still embodies the rural side of French life; fertile soil in the Seine valley offers farmers a rich tapestry to practice their craft. |

What a lovely place you live in!! If I ever go to France again, I'd like to see Chapet!! | Pawtuxet Mon Jan 23, 2006 18:07 UTC
Is it the nature? the views? the stone houses? the blue shutters, or the weekly market that one must love about this place? I'm envious. Wish I could afford your villa as a 2nd home. |
