Chateau de Fayolle to fundraise for village school in Villetoureix.
When the sunshine returns a very English cream tea will be served on the front lawn of the chateau to support the village school in their fundraising for a school trip to Morrocco. People will be invited to come and have a traditional afternoon tea with little sandwiches and homemade cake and all proceeds will be donated to the school.
