A sad day for the residents of Lexos in the commune of Varen when on Wednesday the contents of the bar and restaurant, tables, chairs, kitchen equipment were all sold in " une vente aux encheres" / an auction. Since the closing of the cement factory "Lafarge" and the railway losing many routes, the gradual decline of Lexos has rolled on. L' Auberge du Pecheur has struggled to make a living with many different owners trying in the 11 years we have been here. The Depeche says " Quand les services partent, la desertification est en marche." When the services go the desertification begins.
