I went into town again yesterday morning and took some photos. I took them with my third digital camera, a Canon SX700-HS, which I hadn't used in a while. Here are three photos I took along the riverfront in Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher. The first is a 19th century house (une maison bourgeoise is what it's called) for sale (à vendre).
According to this real estate site, the house has 220 square meters of living space (about 2500 sq. ft.), including five bedrooms. The photos on the web site make it look pretty attractive, but heating costs might be high. The asking price is €241,500, or say $275,000 U.S. You can see that the church is right behind it, and it's on the river road right in the center of the old town. (I'm just reporting — I have no stake in the house or its sale.)
Above and below are two photos of the river that I took from near the house that's for sale. One shows the bridge and the Sur le Pont restaurant to the northwest. The other shows the view to the southeast, where the river comes into Saint-Aignan.
As usual, you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them with your mouse, or manipulating them on the screen of your tablet.
Je suis obligé de faire un commentaire . Bravo
ReplyDeleteBien le bonjour du pays !
ReplyDeletewonder if the house would flood in high water
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be very high water, and the ground-level floor is a basement, not living space.
DeleteAll of your cameras take great photos. That's a nice house for sale.
ReplyDeleteIf we had the cash and didn't have two dogs... well... It's nice being in the country and not right in town — though only two miles away.
DeleteThat is a lot of house for $275,000. Imagine that in San Francisco. It would be way over $1 million.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know. I know of a condo in Palo Alto and a tract house in Sunnyvale that both sold for about $2 million over the past year. In 2003, we sold our SF house, in what had been a working class neighborhood, for three times the price of that huge St-Aignan edifice.
