This morning the commune has started resurfacing the chemin that comes down to our property! 
As mentioned elsewhere, Help please with the nuances we have been talking to the mayors (previous and current) since 2019 about the state of the road - not ours, but only used by us except for the top bit.
The gullies down which storm water pours have got deeper every year - in places now 10cm below the middle and sides of the road. Not great for our gite guests and hard to explain to those returning the following year that it’s still not fixed. So this morning is a small joy.
And this morning…
