At the end of this village is a free service bourne and also free ehu. Nothing left in the village, not even a  baker, even the one horse has left this one horse town. But it's quiet and thanks to the people of Rebbeville for welcoming CCs.
There was a neolithic and cro magnon grotto between the village and the next one but it was a disappointment.
 There were fish in the river too.
