I think we'll take a trip in the summer.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10403876102497511050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-6679605732459749122009-10-19T19:00:44.976+02:002009-10-19T19:00:44.976+02:00Hi Simon (Bate), I've never noticed Marmite fo...Hi Simon (Bate), I've never noticed Marmite for sale in the supermarkets here in France. But then I haven't looked, since I've never tried it.<br /><br />Somebody who might be able to give you better information than I can is Simon Brand, who said he considered Aubusson as a place to live before he settled in Touraine.<br /><br />Hi Simon Brand, by the way, Simon Bate lives just outside Raleigh, North Carolina.<br /><br />Starman, little French towns aren't really like little American towns, at least not in some ways. People don't have the same prejudices and preconceived ideas (though they often have others, different from in America).<br /><br />Judy, you put your finger on one of the reasons that made me want to live in France. After studying the language, history, literature, and culture for 45 years, I wanted to be in a position to be able to go see some of the places I knew about. I've always said that having an entire country (and language) to explore would probably keep me busy for the rest of my days.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-48569801139681816832009-10-19T15:57:30.420+02:002009-10-19T15:57:30.420+02:00Hi Ken, thanks for the views of Aubusson.

Is Marmite sold in France?Simon Batehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505355083584221732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-26051408865713096852009-10-19T09:00:01.510+02:002009-10-19T09:00:01.510+02:00Aubusson was one of the towns on our "must vi...Aubusson was one of the towns on our "must visit, may live there one day" list. It is still on the "must visit" list.<br /><br />It's strange how you get a feeling about a town even before you have been there, but Aubusson appeared somewhere we could have settled.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06203768991989701121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-17742179174905026242009-10-18T20:16:01.776+02:002009-10-18T20:16:01.776+02:00That available Aubusson property looks like the or...That available Aubusson property looks like the original money pit. It's a beautiful place. A place it would be nice to visit, but I don't think I could live in a small town.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-46658091102370755322009-10-18T16:18:08.008+02:002009-10-18T16:18:08.008+02:00Oh, how wonderful!

It is so cool to actually get to go to see the towns that you've read and heard of because of something like their tapestries, or their cheese, or their being the birthplace of someone you've read about, etc. Thanks very much for sharing this post :) I love the historic glimpses you give us, Ken :)<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.com
