Our village is called Ambourville and it is part of a two village municipality so often it comes up as ‘Anneville-Ambourville’. They are separated by about 10km. Importantly, there is a boulangerie – patisserie in Anneville!

Our village does not have any shops but it does have a Mairie or Town Hall and a part-time Mayor.

We also have a small church.

There are lots of lovely traditional half-timbered houses and thatched roof houses. A few people like us have bought older places and done them up. There are also some of the new triangular houses you see everywhere.

You can walk through the village in about 10 minutes but then there are little lanes that take you down to the river and you can walk along there.

We don’t exactly have a chateau in the village but we do have the manoir de templiers. An old manor house that may have housed some knights Templar. I haven’t been able to find out much about it.
