Place de Cornieres 13th-century village square (Monpazier/FR)

The antique shop "La Petit Credence" is one of the few nice shops at the Place de Cornieres. They really add to this 13th-century village centre with a very nice townsquare. The ancient arcade is a very nice place to walk and still so very much alive.

Monpazier: Urban Photography

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.
