Stained glass detail at Eglise St.Dominique (Monpazier/FR)
The stained glass windows of this church look really nice. It adds extra color to this more than 700 years old church. Part of this village is builld in order of the King of England Pierre de Gontaut, Lord Baron of Biron then the owner of the nearby castle at Biron.

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.
