What's in a name?


Nestling between the Creuse and Gartempe rivers on the southern boundry of Indre et Loire this little hamlet could perhaps cash in on its name. There is actually a small private vineyard nearby on the way to Vicq-sur-Gertempe so it could have its own vintage 'Champagne' - or could it?

    Now there's a war for the solicitors... I can hear dry, crusty palms rubbing together as I type.

  2. Our friends live a few hundred metres from this spot, at Monteboeuf, and have wonderful views over the valley. We often take a trip from Le Petit-Pressigny and enjoy a glass of sparkles on their terrace ...

  5. Sorry, I don't know, but will see what I can find out. We are eating there at the beginning of April as part of a friends 60th birthday celebrations.
