This is Hayley and mine's favourite place to visit. www.la-vallee-des-singes.frNearly all the monkeys roam free, and as you walk about you get Squirrel monkeys in your hair and Lemur's sitting next to you on the benches. One very cool place  |

well we are going again next May Eric the owner should have his Panthers rebuilt by then so i should get a nice ride out in the French countryside. Here is a link to the Gite, sleeps 16 in 5 or 6 bedrooms. http://pontreau.chez-alice.fr/index.htmlit would make a nice LONG ride out off season as it is situated near POITIERS. |

Eric has 3 barns, the one with the Kubblewagon (spelling?) isn't his and the photo's do not do it justice, there is so much 2nd world war stuff in there.
The old car you can partly see is the owners 1930's renault. There is also a very rare French copy of a prewar BMW bike as well.

Here are another 2 pictures, both crap but if you look closely you will see the motorcycle in one and a 2nd WW cannon in the other

I'd love to go there. I'd be happy to spend a week in the barn without venturing outside!
