Epeigné-les-Bois: creating a garden


Last year the commune of Epeigné-les-Bois bought a small barn just across from Le Lézard Vert, the village café, restaurant and shop (cream building in left hand corner of photo). The barn's roof, which had fallen in, has now been replaced and now the small patch of ground (see above) had been cleared of its scrubby trees and will be turned into a garden. This morning clearing the space was in full swing.
