First Post

It's going to take time to get used to this blogging. I'd like to tell you something about Les Castellans, but there seems to be some sort of limit to how much I can say. You may have heard about the floods in the Var recently. Well, we were lucky just to have a couple of small leaks in the main house, while the wing, where our guests stay was completely dry. Amazing really, as it was just like being under a waterfall and you could see no more than a couple of metres. Others were not so lucky, and a friend close by had a large part of her garden washed away. In Draguignan 15 kms away, they are still clearing the mud and drowned cars away a month after the waters subsided. The main road bridge at Taradeau is still down and so if you are coming from Nice you need to go to Lorgues by Draguignan or Vidauban. It puts an extra 15 mins on the journey time. We had a great party in St Antonin village for the Quatorze Juillet, so I'll tell you about that in my next post
