Medieval streets and buildings (Beaumontois en Périgord/FR)
Medieval streets and buildings (Beaumontois en Périgord/France) - A quiet little French bastide village, many ancient houses most of them renovated with taste. A very nice town for a relaxing walk.
Photo August 2019, Beaumontois en Périgord (1272) after 747 years in time.

Beaumontois en Périgord - Architecture
The village of Beaumontois en Périgord, a place where the medieval history is still present, a central village square with a covered market, surrounded by houses with gables with arches and an impressive church. The foundation of the bastide of Beaumont-du-Périgord begun by Luc de Thaney, Seneschal of Gascony, on the orders of the King of England, Duke of Aquitaine, Edward I, in 1272. By the treaty of Paris of 1259, between Louis IX and Henri III, King of England, the war between Capétiens and Plantagenêts ends and the King of England recognizes himself as a vassal of the King of France. The founding of Beaumont precedes that of the bastide town of Monpazier by twelve years. The king of England, duke of Guyenne, granted in 1288 to the inhabitants of the town certain privileges.
.
A special building in this village is the church, it begun at the end of the 13th century was not finished until the 14th century. The Beaumont Church does not appear to have suffered significant damage during the Hundred Years War or when the town of Beaumont was taken by Protestant troops in 1576, 1585 and 1587. The building is classified as a historical monument on April 8, 1909.
