The weekly market at the Place de Cornieres, with many stalls selling local goods up and around the 13th-century village square. The square has always been a place of commerce and trade, in a way so little has changed in time. The market is not that crowded at all, an excellent moment to enjoy a nice French market and lots of local grown or produced products for sale.

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.

View of Bélvès, a picturesque village situated on a ridge overlooking the Nauze Valley in the Périgord Noir region of the Dordogne department, France, provides stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Bélvès is officially classified as one of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France" (The Most Beautiful Villages of France), a designation awarded to villages that excel in heritage, charm, and beauty, and Bélvès certainly meets these criteria..

Pays de Belves: Urban Photography
The history of Bélvès dates back to approximately 300 BC, when a Celtic tribe, presumably the Bellovaci, settled at this strategic location. The village thus boasts a history spanning 2,300 years. The Romans were the first to establish a military base there due to its strategic location. Later, in the Middle Ages, Bélvès grew into a fortified town with seven towers, earning it the nickname "the town of the seven towers." During the Hundred Years' War, the village was often on the front lines and experienced periods of destruction and recovery. The current market hall and many other historic buildings date back to the 15th century. A walk through the historic Castrum district reveals that much from that era has been preserved..

The weekly market at the Place de Cornieres, with many stalls selling local goods at the 13th-century village square and surrounding streets. The square has always been a place of commerce and trade, in a way so little has changed in time. The market is not that crowded at all, an excellent moment to enjoy a nice French market and lots of local grown or produced products for sale.

Monpazier: Marche de France
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.

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.

It's always nice to see all the facade variations. A balcony, door, windows, shutters, in various states of maintenance. It looks so much better then to see equal structures in a long row.

Historical silent streets. It's a very nice walk in this old French village with many silent streets, some houses are very old and mostly stiil inhabited. The streets breath so much of history, some decennia, most of all some ages in time.

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.

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.

Randonnée pédestre , Km 13 D+ 380 m
Une balade pour aller visiter l'un des "plus beaux villages de France" , Heureusement qu'il y avait une belle marche avec de superbes paysages, parce-que la Chartreuse, ça ne vaut pas un déplacement spécifique ....
