Renovation in Lavausseau

 
An Englishman has bought a rather large house that is hundreds of years old. He has asked Amanda's stepfather, who is an architect, to obtain planning permission for a total renovation project. Permission has been obtained, and the work is well underway. Most of the roof has been dismantled, the walls raised by a foot or so, and the interior completely remodelled. It is a vast project, and it will be finished later this year. The family is moving from England next week, and will stay in a Gite they have already completed in the grounds.
