Over the past 4-6 months the electricity pylons in our hamlet, Le Chatelier in the South Touraine have been removed and replaced by underground cables.
It’s been a right old messy job involving a fair number of periods when we’ve been without power. In itself it’s a continuation of the excellent work in the fields and lanes around our house where post-war concrete pylons were removed last year providing not only a better and more reliable electricity supply but also unimpeded views of the surrounding countryside.
