Welcome to Drew and Alan's  Le Coin Perdu

This site will hopefully encourage you to live a more relaxing lifestyle.  It is also an insight into the arts, crafts and home made preserves that we sell from our little studio / gallery located in the converted grain store at our farmhouse home.  We found that when we lived in the UK the way of life there was all about working so you can earn money to buy luxuries or things that make you feel you fit in.  Everyone seems to be judged by what they own, what car they drive, how many holidays they have and where they go. In short it's a rat race and we wanted to escape it.  Here, we will try to show that you don't need a big fancy car and a well paid job. Just the will to live, be creative, and have some motivation to learn new skills.  Gardening can be very rewarding and enjoyable as can most of the simple things in life.  We try to make everything ourselves and (most of the time) enjoy every minute of the process. Hope you enjoy looking at our website as much as we enjoyed putting it together.  

A bientot
