Saint-Matthieu avec 2 T, dixit le site de "l'association des amis du vieux village d'Oingt" et celui de la fondation du patrimoine.
Eglise Saint-Matthieu d'Oingt
Au XIIIe siècle l'ancien logis seigneurial devient l'église paroissiale dédiée aux habitants de la ville fermée d'Oingt. Elle est agrandie de la chapelle de la Vierge après 1383. Foudroyé le 16 juin 1757, le clocher est rebâti dans l'angle N.O. Elle est complétée au XVIIIe par un escalier et un porche, puis en 1883 par une prolongation à l'ouest. Les vitraux datent du XIXe siècle. Venez visiter cette église atypique.
A 16th-century covered market at the Place de Cornieres. It's very nice to see how it's constructed with lot of wooden beams, a heavy roof and without any wall surrounding.
Inside three antique grain measures used for trade. The location still has an important role for commerce and trade, most of these covered markets are still in use today.

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.

Limeuil - Architecture
The village of Limeuil, located at the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers historically both commercially and strategically on the highways of trade. This region was primarily a wine-producing area for subsequent delivery downstream to Bordeaux, on large, flat-bottomed "gabarres". Nowadays a very nice historical village and on the list of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France", the most beautiful villages of France.

Some houses in this region are build right below a huge cliff. Tons of rock right above their heads don't seem to be any threat. In fact, they have been doing this for eages and some, even ancient traces, are still visible like for example at Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil and most popular at La Roque De Gageac and the ancient village remains at Roque Saint Christophe.

Gabare cruising up and down the river.
Photo Richard Poppelaars © #AboutPixels #Photography (Nikon D90) / #gabare #boat - #attraction #tour at #Dordogneriver in #LaRoqueGageac, #Dordogne - #France
These Gabare were in history flat-bottomed boats, used to transport all types of goods along the river. This came to and end with the introduction of railroads and the use of many bridges and roads. These old bridges are still there at regular intervals along the river.
Modern Gabares offer a nice tour at the Dordogne river, the many views at castles and villages are priceless.

Notice the bright yellow spot in the cliff. In 1957, part of the cliff collapsed on six houses in the village below, killing three people and blocking the road. A stele and a plaque have been placed at the base of the cliff in memory of the victims.
In 2010, part of the ceiling of the troglodyte fortress collapsed, along with part of the fort's 12th century curtain wall. With the threat of a 320 ton rock collapsing, the road was once again closed until measures were completed. The restoration of the fort took more than ten years before it was accessible to the public again. Later in 2013 the departmental road 703 was closed for five months to create safe pedestrian routes on both sides of the road, little to no historic sight but the modern and sleek concrete now functions as a safe pedestrian boulevard.

Une chaire du XVIIIe siècle en état de péril
C’est contre le mur nord, à un emplacement acoustique judicieux entre la chapelle Saint-Eloi et la chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire, qu’a été construite, en pierre et en stuc, une belle chaire baroque, dont la qualité est digne d’un maître. On y accède par un escalier construit à l’intérieur d’un pilier entre les deux chapelles.

L'abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque est un monastère cistercien en activité, et situé sur la commune de Gordes, dans le Vaucluse.
Fondé en 1148, il devient abbaye en 1150. Celle-ci fait partie, avec l'abbaye de Silvacane et l'abbaye du Thoronet, des « trois sœurs provençales », qui témoignent du grand rayonnement de l’ordre cistercien en Provence.
Aujourd'hui prieuré de l'abbaye de Lérins, le monastère, situé dans le vallon où coule la Sénancole, est toujours occupé par une communauté de 6 moines cisterciens de la congrégation cistercienne de l’Immaculée Conception.
Monument historique

Everyone chooses a place to live, a place that suits the resident. In architecture, it is valuable for each residential location to have the opportunity to give it its own unique identity. The variety of facades with doors, windows, balconies, gardens and more gives every house its own appearance. Together this forms a map of the community that is recognizable to everyone.
In modern architecture with sleek, especially repetitive housings, everyone seems equal. But the community then loses color, the unique character of the residents is then almost invisible. Residents express this indoors, which is rarely visible to everyone. It creates a multitude of closedness in a place where we should be able to live together happily and healthily.

Depuis 900 ans, les moines se succèdent dans l’abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque. Logé au cœur de la Provence, à proximité du village de Gordes, ce monastère cistercien a connu un âge d’or, mais aussi un terrible déclin suivit d’un renouveau. Aujourd’hui, l’abbaye est toujours occupée par des moines qui partagent leur temps entre la prière et le travail afin de vivre en autonomie. En période estivale, lorsque le lavandin est en fleur, l’abbaye de Sénanque, avec ses pierres de calcaire et ses toits couverts de lauzes, offre un spectacle digne d’une carte postale.
Immense thick vines branch. Townhall garden along the Dordogne riverside. Some shade by a very huge grapevine, in age it could be back to begin 19th century.
In Limeuil some "chais" and traces of shipping can still be found. All this ended around 1880 with the devastation of the Phylloxera insect that destroyed all the vineyards in France. Consequential the enormous loss of livelyhood for many peassant families and villages that fell into poverty. The bridges accross the rivers were build in 1891 ending all forms of transport for many ages accross the river intirely.

La Chapelle de Jurieux
La chapelle de style roman du 11me et 12ème siècle était une prébende (biens et revenus destinés à des clercs) des chanoines d’Ainay de Lyon. Des modifications ont été apportées ensuite par l’adjonction de chapelles latérales dont une de style gothique. Cette chapelle était affectée au cultes et services des habitants des hameaux de Sainte-Croix-en-Jarez. Un vicaire de Pavezin assurait le service. A la Révolution, l’église du monastère devenue église paroissiale l’a remplacée pour le service aux habitants. Elle est placée sous le vocable de Sainte Brigitte.

La chapelle Saint-François de Paule et son ancien cimetière attenant sont des lieux chargés d’histoire à Bormes les Mimosas. L’histoire de la chapelle remonte à l’époque du roi Louis XI, qui, se sentant proche de la fin de sa vie en 1483, a fait appel à un moine italien renommé : François de Paule. Le religieux et ses compagnons ont traversé la mer agitée pour se rendre en France, mais ont été confrontés à la fermeture des ports en raison de l’épidémie de peste qui sévissait dans le pays. Saint-François de Paule trouve refuge et hospitalité dans le village de Bormes. En reconnaissance de ces moments de repos bienvenus, il promet de protéger le village contre l’épidémie. En 1519, après sa canonisation, les habitants de Bormes lui firent construire une chapelle.
