Visiting the Gers
[Having returned home and as we inch into late Fall and Winter with no plans for extended photo trips until next year, I resume uploading the rest of my selected photos from 2020 (10 per day, usually in the morning CET), as well as a selection of my current, 2021 photos (usually 3 or 4 per day, in the evening CET).]
The Gers is a small part of the region of Aquitaine, which covers most of southwestern France. On July 2020, we rented a house for three weeks in the Gers area, and commencing today, I will upload a selection of the photographs I took while we were there. I hope you will enjoy them!
As usual, I will caption more specifically in bold type below whenever necessary.
A rare type oh heritage architecture in the village of L’Isle-Bouzon: this dovecote from the 1400s is unique in the whole Gers, first because such utilitarian buildings from the Middle Ages were rarely kept, and more frequently pillaged for stones, and next because of its very unusual, perfectly round vaulting, which unfortunately became leaky, hence the modern-day tiled roof that was installed to protect the inside of the monument.
