Rochemenier is in the Loire region of France near the town of Saumur. It is a village like many others in France two shops a couple of restuarants very clean and tidy.

However this village is very different the houses most of the building are all built into the rockface. The rock remains relatively dry and has a average temperature of 12c.

The caves stay cool in summer and warm in winter and are low maintenace as only the front is exposed to the weather.

You can visit the muesum Village troglodyte where you can see two farms with around 20 rooms built into the rocks.

The first settlements date back to the 13 century all the rooms had to be dug out by hand .

You could sell the rock you dug out which covered the cost of your house.

This little church is well worth a visit on a hot day it is very cool and calm inside.

The floor is made up with ancient graveyard slabs

The town of Saumur makes a good base to see the area.
