au Vieux Logis

The Vieux Logis, or Old Lodge, of our colophon is our house in France. Nobody knows how old the oldest part is, nor even which part of the structure(s) that may be. Picture postcards from the earliest 1900s show the house more or less complete, and some of the improvements are known to date from the 1870s. The caves, or boves, housed livestock when needed.
