Just taking a walk around Coupiac on Google street view, and walked up Rte de Paulet in particular
I can’t post photos on here from my phone but take a look. Is that Chrissie tending her veggies???

Hello Su.
I didn't know that the Google van had been around again. Yes, that's Chrissie tending to the tomato's. I can tell you that it is either a Saturday or a Monday as there are bags of garden rubbish ready to go to the tip as it only opens Saturday and Monday afternoons.
We are the first house in Route de Paulet which is strangely numbered No7. 1 and 3 are on the square at the bottom of the road where the chateau is. Madame Roques house is behind ours which could be construed as No1, so I guess we should be No3.
Until then our official address was Le Bourg, Coupiac, which loosely translates as "somewhere in Coupiac".
Coupiac has only had street signs and house numbers for about 6 years which caused chaos for delivery drivers. They still have problems delivering to us as we are No7 not No1. and the house number is on the garden wall up the path at the side of the house.
We were amused at the zoom when you thought we were in the cellar. The kitchen and the lounge are almost all bare stone after I chiselled about 2" of concrete off the interior external walls.
I confess that the garden gas gone to pot this year. I usually get the brush cutter on the embankment 3 or 4 times a year to keep it tidy but its lethal work. You have to do half from the top and half from the bottom and if its damp you are in danger of sliding down.
I took the easy way out this week and sprayed the whole lot with weedkiller.
