We have a few on the barn, which may have been a shop 100 years ago.
There's a huge "SUZE" painted on the end wall, best seen on Street View: https://www.google.com/maps/@46.0519698,0.6839567,3a,30y,354.8h,86.87t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sQcvsXvzLSIAGS_9BDG9EKg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DQcvsXvzLSIAGS_9BDG9EKg%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D349.92014%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656
and a couple on the front. One is "Chocolate LOUIT", and the other next to it is hard to make out but may say "Lubin". There's another very faded one at the other end but it's hard to tell what it used to be.Suze, by the way, is a rather delicious bitter drink. Tastes a bit like chinotto.
Louit Freres still exist, as a subsidiary of an Italian company, but the brand only goes on mustard now.

excuse me but you could start a transalpine war by linking Suze to Chinotto.
Nice to see someone here not far from where i grew up ! There is a decent summer music+dance festival in Confolens

In 2012 we took the tandem within 5k of this wonderful place. Not a valuable thread contribution, but funny how it goes. It was part of a day that was 160k entirely uphill and tarmac-bubblingly hot, and I had a life changing burger from a tiny little shack in Chalus (wooden goose outside, FOIE GRAS writ large across its belly). I remember it quite vividly. Lovely part of the world.

@bq Ghost Signs! Please share more. Assuming this are old hand-painted signs no longer in use vs the sign of actual ghosts?
