Duras

Duras is about 15km south of St Foy La Grande.  I knew this area, as my family have connections with a family in St Foy, and I had stayed there a couple of times as a holiday exchange.

The property we liked there was a converted stone barn, which was owned by an English builder and his french wife.  Whilst it had been converted and a lot of work had been done, not many parts had been finished - little finishing touches were missing, such as the skirting board in the glorious master bedroom.  Some of the older rooms, such as the downstairs bedrooms had not been decorated in 13 years.
