Ever dreamed of spending the weekend in a Bed-and-Breakfast on the French country side?
Well now you can, and you don't even have to leave the Panhandle.
"La Maison de Lucy" located in Alford near Highway 231, is now open for business.

On the outside, this renovated schoolhouse, nestled in the small town of Alford, doesn't seem to be anything special.
But step inside any of the rooms of "La Maison de Lucy" and you'll realize how unique this international Bed-and-Breakfast really is.
"For me, it was important to keep something going on in this school. It was supposed to be teared down but we really liked the ambiance."
Before moving to the United States about two years ago, owner Michael Setboun spent seven years in France, working as a pharmacist.
He says he wanted to preserve the integrity of the school while providing guests with a cultural experience.
"We found a good idea to bring this in this area to show the people how to travel around the world while staying at La Maison de Lucy."
"La Maison de Lucy", or "Lucy's House", was named after Michael's mother.
Alford Mayor George Gay says the Bed-and-Breakfast is the first of its kind in the area.
"They've invested a substantial amount into our community and for a community of our size, we're only about 500 residents, this is a very large investment for the town."
Renovating the old schoolhouse was a big undertaking for the Setbouns.
But it paid off.
"It's really amazing to see recycling at its best."
Greece, China, India, Ireland or even Hollywood, each room is uniquely decorated according to its theme.
"It's important to be different, if you want to be something, you must be different."
And the furniture is for sale.
"Everybody that wants to buy something from here can buy it. Just let us know."
Michael says the whole project would not have been possible without his parents' help.
But Charles and Lucy Setboun say they are most proud of the fact their son has found a new passion in life.
"I can say I'm very proud because he's like our new child. It's different. And we are very happy he can do that now."
