Abzac has the problems of many small villages in France - it is losing its heart. After long attrition the bar closed, about ten years ago. This left it with only the well known garage, Salomon's run by Jean-Paul. And more recently a small second hand shop run by English has opened. The post office remains - but for how long?
The new council has decided to act and is in the process of encouraging the re-opening of the shop next to the old bar as a grocery and summer pavement café. As far as I can find out the final decision has not been made as to who.
The plans are in place. It is intended that the shop will be a general grocery and bread shop. The later to be a "depot de pain" found often in less populaed villages where there is no longer a baker. In the summer it is expected that it will have tables and chairs on the pavement so that passers by, residents and visitors to the centre for the handicapped can drink a cup of coffee or take a bite to eat.
