Monflanquin, Lot et Garonne, France. View from the Black Prince's House - its ribbed vaults and twin bay windows dominate the square.
The Black Prince, (nicknamed because of his black armor) was son of King Edward III of England and victor over John the Good at Poitiers in 1356, is said to have stayed here.
Given its privileged location and its decoration, this house was certainly reserved for the use of the most influential figure in the city, the Bayle or the Seneschal.

Countryside Département Lot-et-Garonne near the small village of Monflanquin. Lots of agriculture activity change the view season by season each year.
With so many villages in the Aquitaine being listed in the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France association" (The most beautiful villages of France) don't forget to enjoy the beautiful surrounding landscape. The rolling hilly landscape with colorful fields and forests are a feast for the eyes. The area is very rich in nature where many birds, animals, plants and many flowers thrive in this healthy clean environment.
