Discover Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (Monpazier/FR)
Sure a great stop for discovery at the Place de Cornieres the medieval centre (Est.+/-1285) of Monpazier. It's a very nice village square surrounded by an arched arcade with many medieval buildings and little shops and restaurants.

Monpazier: History
The small village Monpazier, a 13th-century bastide town, founded in 1285 and built by King Edward I of England for trade, commerce and justice. It almost didn't change in the past centuries, a medieval town square lined with an arched arcade, a 16th-century covered market, three of the original six rampared city gates remain and many other traces of medieval history. This picturesque small village is one of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" villages, said to be one of the most atractive in southwest France.
