Angles sur l'Anglin

A walk on the high side...

It was such a lovely day on Friday (2nd Dec.!) that we decided we had to go out for a walk. We drove down to one of our's and our guest's favourite villages Angle sur l'Anglin to try out another of the five 'Promenades communales' walks around this lovely village.We chose the walk that took us by the cemetery and 40 metres up over the river L'Anglin.  Once we climbed up on to the top there was a terrific viewing point 'Roc a Midi' which isn't for the faint-hearted.

 Here is a view coming into the village on the D2 road.

 

Here is probably the shot that all visitors take of this lovely village.

Work has just finished behind 'Le Bourg' to thin out some of the trees to open up more of the river view.This should make a big difference for 2012's guests. 

When I was asked to rendezvous with the tree-fellers at 'Le Bourg', I thought I was meeting up with three Irishmen - sorry old joke but couldn't resist it - but no, it was with Laurent Blain who describes himself as 'arboriste grimpeur'. It was he who was contracted to cut down some of the trees behind the house.

                                          

His skills were obvious as he clambered and climbed between the trees.
