Welcome to my first ever City Journal focused on a rural country I will create with the help of Purple, my lover in real life.

She is passionate by wine (but not alcoolohic !) and I am passionate by SC4 (and surely addict...).

Our goals for this country and CJ are multiples :

- Talking about one of the best french wine country (beyond the "Beaujolais Nouveau")

- Creating a French inspired rural country with very

- Showing and testing some of my Bat and Lots (like those I did for my my Ruralset Steamrobin Ruralset )

Next entries in this journal will show the steps of the Beaujolais Valley country map creation, each of the main villages creation, showcases of the SC4 custom contents I will use (some made by myself), infos about wines and wine growing...

I must thank Purple for the help she accepts to provide to me to try to make this Journal the best it could !

For a first glance at the real Beaujolais country, visit :

Now, Ladies and Gentleman, please, let me show you 2 screens I made to give you an idea of the spirit of the work we will do here : 

(Comments and feedbacks are very welcome here, about all the subjects covered by our CJ).

Vineyards and rural items (except of the rural trails) are part of my Ruralset, some are in touch for a next release (Vineyards and Rural Cabins).

 @ TekindusT : Thanks a lot ! What you say is exactly what I wanted to do with these screens : something that appears really different, almost like a painting (I am a big fan of English watercolorists of the XVIIIth...).
@ Schulmanator : Many thanks. Hope continue with the same touch...
@ psander5 : lol. Be back soon, I hope you ll have more stuff that will made you thirsty. "A ta santé !"
@ titanesk : "Salut you ! ". Thanks for your comments ! Beside this, I must explain that we, Purple and me, wanted to talk about the Beaujolais but not necessary about the Beaujolais Nouveau. The Beaujolais Nouveau is a good wine, specialy for special events ( sort of "party drink"), but not really the best one. We would rather prefer Beaujolais coming from one of these ten villages I was refering in my map (eg : Brouilly). No matter, we are glad to welcome you here.
