A couple of weeks ago we took a sight seeing trip around southern France with friends from Vancouver Island, Canada. This little village in the Tarn departement was one of the the places we visited. A spectacular beautiful village. A Bastide - fortified - Village built on top of a small hill, with 360° views of the surrounding countryside.
This is the Main Street into the central place - square - of the village.
Place des Arcdes, our hotel behind the central arch, our friend Kees sitting in the shade watching the world go by - very slowly here, no rush.
Timber frame buildings with bricks between the framing called Colombage in France. These buildings are hundreds of years old.
The views.
A mixture here stone built house with Colombage on the first floor.
A street of stone houses, the one with the sign is the Post Office - La Poste.
Another stile of house, Colombage with a plaster type rendering called crepi.
View of the Place from our bedroom window.
