Narrow medieval stock market alley (Monpazier/FR)

Small passages lead to the narrow medieval alleys in the village of Monpazier. In history it's where they used to trade live stock like pigs, sheep, ducks, cows and chickens. Nowadays only historie remains, still a nice alley to discover.

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.
