A lovely little town with beautiful Chateaux that regularly holds music events and Jazz festival. Also some lovely little restaurant and a nice square as well as some amazing little streets to explore. There is also an ancient abbey right in the middle.

2 KM away from Greengates is the local store, selling a great selection and at good prices. Super convenient and perfect for essentials. Also the bottle banks and recycling are all there. Also in the Village of Chives is the Marie, Tennis Courts and Boules and outside the Marie's office are suggested walks and hikes of interest.

29 Rue Alsace-LorraineThe historic center is beautiful and some good shops here too. Restaurants bars and almost everything you will need available. The Romans called it the Balcony of the South West and you will see why. Well worth a visit! Very nice streets. Gorgeous Cathedral!
