Monpazier: Culinair
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.

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.

Castrum - The village Pays-de-Belvès used to be called Belvès, it's fortified in the Middle Ages because of its strategic position and came to be known as the "Pope’s city" as it was under Clement V protection. Belvès still bears witness to a tormented past with fortified walls, a castrum (fortified camp), an 11th century auditeur’s tower, 14th-15th century castle and belfry, city hall tower, covered market, hotel with a Renaissance façade and even some ancient troglodyte dwellings. It has been designated as one of the most beautiful towns in France with impressive panoramic views on top of a hill, enough reason to be member of the "Plus Beaux Villages de 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.

A few chairs and a table. Worn out but every year still there. It's a common view in many French villages, people are used to take a seat outside in many months of the year.
It's one of those excellent places to sit and enjoy this medieval town. It looks a bit worn out but that's because of frequent use, a French custom. Imagine, just add a nice French coffee, a crispy Croissant and the local newspaper. It's one of those many healthy moments of peace in the outdoors.
Over the years, not much has really changed in this corner, at most the grape stump with fresh green leaves in early spring and to see how the grape bunches mature during the summer and autumn. Who wouldn't want to have their own terrace like this, and the time and opportunity to use it almost the whole year round.

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..
.
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". A very nice historical village and on the list of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" most beautifull small villages.

Timeless village facades. Wandering in the silent small streets of Limeuil surrounded by only old, medieval even older houses. It's a steap walk up-hill that leads to an excellent panorama to enjoy the surrounding landscape and rivers. It's like the village didn't change at all, the many traces in architecture show a long history back in time.

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.

Signatures of a facade. Decorative architecture. Doors, wIndows, shutters, balconies, fences and other decorations. In some way they are individual identities of a building. What is is, but also for who, where or how the owners or inhabitants are.

Townhall garden along the Dordogne riverside - Limeuil/FR. 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.
