Poul Fetan - of days gone by




Poul Fetan is about 10 minutes away from the Hameau and is a well known tourist attraction. voici! It is a working museum with a traditional baker, potter and farm. The thatched buildings from the 14th to 16th Centuries and have been lovingly restored. The “villagers” are dressed in traditional costumes and you can watch them dying and spinning wool, butter-making, washing linen in the river Blavet and carrying out other tasks of yesteryear. You can also try the delicious breads and cakes cooked in the traditional community bread oven.

It opens on a more regular basis from April. I will be taking my sister and brother in law there when they come over in a few days time.

Thanks guys
Valerie, come up for a rest after your season and we/I will cook you local fayre with flour from the mill down the drive and of course with lots of cider!!! We have our own press but how to get it out of one of the houses and into working mode is another matter!!! Just given me an idea for a garden featuure!

Ksam,we have yet to experience Poul Fetan but am sure it will be well visited when we have people to visit as so near on the door step.
Where are you located these days, feel free to visit
