La Treille is positioned at approximately 150m above sea level and about 2 km up the hill from Tocane St Apre so, whilst we were nice and dry, down in the village the River Dronne burst its banks and they suffered the full force of ‘Tempete Quentin’ on the 24th January 2009.

You get a sense of the depth through my snaps around the Maison de Dronne (Tocane’s Tourist Information Centre’s) and the tiny chapel on the opposite side of the river.

The pretty tree lined avenue leading from Tocane up to Montagrier (D103) was under about half a meter of water at one point and traffic was diverted along other routes.

Here’s a snap of the campsite at Lisle where they too suffered!
