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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Plus de 200 crèches originales sont présentées derrière les fenêtres, les vitrines, dans l’église et dans des endroits insolites. A découvrir en famille.
Tout le village est décoré, jusqu’en haut du Donjon, de guirlandes lumineuses, de boules de Noël, de sapins, de nouvelles silhouettes … etc…, pour le plaisir des petits, mais aussi des grands, la Magie de Noël est au rendez-vous.
The French flag is a clear sign, it must be the village town hall. A simple building but adequate for this kind of village.

One of the oldest houses with a typical construction. It's called "Maison de la Justice" - The Old Courthouse (Est. circa 1350).
Some of the houses date back some time but mostly all of the houses even much longer ago. Very nice and different facades present a different look around every corner. None of the buildings are fitted with visible modern items so you might forget the actual date and time now and then.

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.
Construite sur les plans et devis des Sieurs Lambertin et Astaud d’Avignon, elle est dédiée à Saint Firmin, évêque d’Uzès, mort en 552.
Comme en témoigne l’inscription au fronton de l’église, l’achèvement de sa construction date de 1755.
Les décors peints ont été réalisés lors de deux grandes campagnes : l’une au XVIIIe siècle, en 1755, et l’autre au XIXe siècle, à partir de 1839 sous l’influence du chanoine Isnard qui va marquer les quarante années de son ministère par sa forte personnalité, sa volonté de pastoralisme et son attachement à Rome en lançant une ambitieuse campagne décorative de l’église avec des peintures à l’huile et l’acquisition d’un riche mobilier et de linge ecclésiastiques.

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.

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.

La statue de la Sainte Vierge y domine une source près de laquelle Marie serait apparue dans un buisson d'aubépines à un berger qui se serait écrié : "aranza zu" soit "vous dans un buisson d'aubépine !".
Terrace view at Bistro 2, the bastide and remparts make it timeless.

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.

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.

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.

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.
