This view at the Place de Cornieres shows the exact type of mood and atmosphere of this ancient village. The more then 700 years medieval centre of town hasn't changed in time. An old bicycle looks like a modern invader, still almost consumed by it's surroundings.

Monpazier - 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.
