A walk around Venelles-le-Haut revealed some of the history of our new address.
Like Julius Caesar’s view of Gaul, Venelles is made up of three parts.
The old village – Venelles-le-Haut, Les Logis – the newer village-y centre and the business and shopping area Les Logissons.
In Venelles-le-Haut there is an old windmill.
There are some nice views too.
And some famous former residents.
Fernand Charpin was a French actor who never forgot his parents roots in Venelles. They lived in a house on the street that is now named after him.
