proverb: Seldom comes a better.

Between Normandy and Brittany, just of the " Massif
Armoricain ", the Bocage (derived from the normand root word bosc, meaning
wood) is an region where granite plains meet with deeply engraved schist stone
valleys.
The bocage has many hidden secrets and an undisputed charm revealed by the
woody hills, vast panoramic views, beautiful steep-sloping rock valleys and
the evergreen meadows and pastures.
The Bocage is characterised by a number of fences and woven hedges which create
an allnatural network.
La qualité de vie dans le bocage doit avoir beaucoup d'attraits car
nombreux sont nos amis britanniques installés plus ou moins définitivement
parmi nous !
Besides the garden and its vintage
roses, what else is there in the Bocage ?
