I live in the southern suburbs of Paris but I am from a region called
Poitou, in the South West of the country. My wife and I have an old
house there where we are planning to spend most of the summer. There are
a lot of very nice places in the area that I am intending to visit with
my newly acquired Tachihara.

I hope it goes well for you and that you can share the pictures.

Is the Chambley where you lived the city that used to host a US Air Base
in the North East of the country? Were you working there at the time?

I think there were two airbases in the area, Chambley and Toul-Rosières.
Yes, I worked at Toul in the medical department.
