Crazannes

Our guest blog today comes from Lucy Thorburn who has lived in France 7 years:-

This area of France, with its plethora of limestone cliffs, has a long tradition of cave dwelling.

At Meschers there are the Grottes de Regulus, named after  the ship, measuring 55 metres long and carrying 700 men, which was fired by Captain Jacques Regneau during the night of April 7 1814, when, failing to hold out against the British, he saved her from falling into foreign hands. She burned for 3 days and nights.
