    Descrição

    Fine Artist Painter Alistair and Designer and Costume specialist Mary, seek help with a stunning House and in the Charante near Angouleme .The house has an amazing history from the early 19thc with a wealth of original features, and we are trying to maintain a period look.

    Our project for now is to clear up the attic and 14/15th century barn (we have found medieval shoes in the wall). We are moving stuff to our small art gallery venue in the stunning village of Verteuil.

    We are in a quiet small village with a baker and restaurant and the nearby town of Ruffec with its SNCF Railway Station only 4 miles away with its cafes and restaurants.
    There are 5 bicycles for use for many beautiful Romanesque Churches, wildlife and countryside to explore in the area. The Charentese climate is the 2nd best micro climate in France.

    We are English, but do speak French! I work at the Royal Opera House in Costume and Alistair is an Artist who teaches Art, graphics and photography. We are well travelled and I have worked in theatres and opera houses from Milan to Shanghai.
