26 séptembre 2008, first look at Montluçon

FRIDAY

My new abode; my bedroom window is the first one on the left.

My roommate, who is also an English language assistant from the UK, and I live on the main floor of the house. We share a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and dining room. Our landlord lives in the basement.

A picture taken from the kitchen window of my landlord coming in from his beautiful garden, where he grows a variety of fruits and vegetables... quite impressive.

Ma chambre (my room)

I technically live just outside Montluçon proper in the town of Prémilhat; this sign shows that I am leaving Prémilhat and entering Montluçon.

The medieval district in Montluçon

In Montluçon, the powerlines are mounted on concrete posts in contrast to wooden posts.

Le Cler (the Cler River)
