The doors of the town hall, which is adjacent to the town hall of Changy (Saône-et-Loire), remained closed this Wednesday morning. The parking lot was quiet, the windows rolled down. Alice, Annie, Monique and Paulette left here Monday afternoon. After their weekly dance class, which ended at 4:30 p.m., the four of them climbed into one of their Citroën. Members of the Sports Retirement Group (GRS) Pays Clayettois who initiated this activity are already used to carpooling. It’s only natural that these four women aged 69 to 82 years live in neighboring cities.
Barely fifteen minutes separate them from La Clayette – which locals pronounce only one syllable, according to the old spelling – and Varennes-sous-Dun, which is next door. Fifteen minutes of walking past villages, farms and green pastures where local Charolais cows graze.
