We aim to create for ourselves a rural life style that also provides a modest income.

This is the first major update of this site is aimed at providing information about the current state of the "project" to family and friends.  It is still a bit "warts and all", both in its construction and content.

However, the longer term aim of using this site as an advert for marketing one or more of the houses as a gîte has been changed as we now have www.chaquel.com for that task.

Navigation - The site is divided up into a number of pages, with their sub pages shown as indents, with the following content:

Who.     Short biographies (inc photos) of Keith and Mary + "The Cats"

Why.    Brief history of why we are doing this madcap scheme

The Gîtes.    Information on the gîtes - this is a summary only, I am building another web site with more details. 

What.    Maps of the Moulin de Chaquel site, including the official site map (Cadastre), the location of the houses, streams, etc. and other plans of the property.

Where.  This contains details and "how to find us" maps of the location as well as information about the surrounding area.

When.   Diary of past events and the latest information on our progress.

The Land.  Details of the land at Le Moulin de Chaquel; its positive points, potential problems and our plans for it.

The Houses. "Before" pictures, both inside and out, and details of the houses - Moulin,  Pavillon and Maison 

We have added some "After" pictures

The Streams. Details about the streams and some of the potential works that need to undertaken.

The Waterwheel.  The possibility of installing a turbine to provide micro hydroelectricity and why we are unlikely to replace the waterwheel.   

The Photo Album.  This has become the main site for family photos.

Contact Details.  How to contact us or you can email us on post@chaquel.com

Currency Exchange Calculator.  We've added this as it has been very useful to us as it uses an Internet site for up to the minute currency exchange rates.

At the bottom of each page there are links to [the top of the current page], [this Home page], [any sub pages], and [the next page in sequence].
