We spent a day moving north visiting other small towns and castles and spending the night at a remote 200 year old farm house outside Ligardes France. We spent a lot of time hiking and photographing the countryside for future paintings as the on and off rain made painting outside not possible.
We learned from a b and b host why there are so many abandoned old houses. Apparently the France laws require that property and assets must be split equally among all siblings and often siblings can not agree on how to divide or sell the properties.
