Pays de Belves: Castrum - Architecture Photography
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".

Many years in history have past in the Castrum area. Not all the buildings date back to be about 11th century. It's still a nice collection of various old building where the last constructions has stopped about a century ago. Needles to say, it's mostly a car free zone.

French Country style - some houses look charming, the blue paint, shutters and lots of green - Monpazier/FR
Promenade en aller-retour au fil d'un sentier découverte (la balade est rythmée par les panneaux didactiques sur la faune et, principalement, la flore du territoire) dont le point de retour de cette petite rando très abordable, le belvédère de Tréguier, vous offrira un superbe point de vue sur le lac de Sainte-Croix et sur le canyon du Val d'Angouire (un petit affluent du Verdon).
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..

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.

Place de Cornieres - medieval centre (est.+/-1250). A very nice square surrounded by medieval buildings with little shops and restaurants - Monpazier/FR
Monument historique
11 Rue des Deux Ponts 11220 Lagrasse
Eléments protégés :
Pile en pierre à chapiteau sculpté avec son sommier de bois ; les deux corbeaux en bois, la grande poutre qu'ils supportent et les solives moulurées formant couvert, de la façade : inscription par arrêté du 27 août 1931
Historique : Cette maison fait partie des couverts qui subsistent sur le côté occidental de la place du Marché. Le poteau est en pierre dure, en trois morceaux. Celui du sommet porte, en guise de chapiteau, deux têtes encapuchonnées. Au-dessus est disposé un sommier en bois mouluré à triple tore qui soulage la maîtresse poutre dont les extrémités reposent sur des corbeaux en bois. Primitivement, la façade de cet immeuble devait être établie en encorbellement sur les solives moulurées aux abouts qui ne portent plus qu'un balcon. Elle devait être en pans de bois. Cet arrangement de portique peut, par la mouluration du sommier et des corbeaux et par le petit écusson engravé au centre du sommier, être daté du 14e siècle.
Périodes de construction : 14e siècle
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.

Architecture that's build to withstand time. With grapevines above the pale blue colored doors, the nice shutters at each window, even the stones used to build the walls. It looks so very nice, fresh and friendly with an age back in history. Wouldn't we all be very proud and happy to be living in a house situated, decorated and designed like this? We like and will preserve it in time, I can't imagine it will be the same for our modern type of houses.

La génoise est une « fermeture d'avant-toit » (la face inférieure d'un avant-toit) formée de plusieurs rangs (de un à quatre, rarement plus) de tuiles-canal en encorbellement sur le mur.
Le rôle de la génoise est d'une part d'éloigner les eaux de ruissellement de la façade comme une corniche, et d'autre part de supporter et continuer le pan versant de toit.
Comme son nom l'indique, la génoise est originaire de l'Italie et ce sont probablement des maçons venant de Gênes qui auraient apporté cette particularité d'abord en Provence puis dans tout le sud de la France, dans la zone où domine la tuile canal. La technique s'appelait « à la génoise », « à la façon génoise », genovesa en provençal. Les premiers écrits s'y rapportant datent des années 1630-1640. La génoise connaît un grand essor dès cette époque. Le nombre de rangs est parfois considéré comme un témoignage du statut social : les maisons modestes ont deux rangs, les propriétaires plus aisés en ont trois, quatre et jusqu'à cinq. Mais on peut aussi considérer qu’un plus grand nombre de rangs augmente la largeur du débord de toiture, et donc la protection, en fonction de la nécessité : une maison plus grande et plus haute, donc a priori plus « riche », nécessitant un débord plus important. Les variantes stylistiques des génoises dépendent essentiellement des modes et des usages locaux. Auparavant, et pour la plupart des constructions modestes, l'avant-toit était fait des extrémités des chevrons apparents et de planches, donc sujets au pourrissement et exposés aux risques d’incendie. Aux XVIIIème et XIXème siècles, les demeures riches remplacent les génoises par des corniches de pierre plus ou moins ornementées, mais l’usage se maintient pour les constructions plus modestes.
