Welcome to our house! We live in a little town about a half hour north-east of Lyon, France. Tomorrow will mark our one-year anniversary in this house. We don't know much of its history, only that it's (supposedly) 260 years old, and is made of adobe, or pisé.
This is picture of the house when we moved in last year. It looks like it must have been divided into two dwellings at some point in the past, because the façade was two different colors.
Thanks to the generosity of my parents-in-law, we were able to have the façade redone, all one color! It definitely makes a difference in how the house looks.
One of the things I love most about our home is the yard. After having lived in a house at the bottom of a STEEP hill, I totally enjoyed our
new flat yard this past summer. It's so great to be able to use all of our space, and we're taking advantage of it with a chicken coop and a vegetable garden. Florent and Jordan made the chicken coop out of stuff they found here in the yard when we moved in. Mabel, Ethel and Gladys are very happy there, and reward us with fresh eggs every day.
