Les Bastides du Périgord.
Here is a visual tour of some of the 'bastide' villages around my area; most of which are within spitting distance of chez nous. In just 5 mins, it'll give you an idea of what the S W of France is like. You may even think of visiting.
Villefranche du Périgord is my nearest village.
Sorry about the funereal music;... what WERE they thinking!

Old stamping ground. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure.
DeleteI skipped through it with the sound off. Interesting enough.
ReplyDeleteYou did right, the sound is dreadful.
DeleteI liked all the pointy archways ... If I wasn't already kind-of organised for next year, I'd be visiting!
ReplyDeleteThe arches very typical of bastides. After all my time here I still love them.
DeleteI visited the area several times in the 1970s but have not been back. There seems to be more cars around in the film than I remember ever seeing.
ReplyDeleteStill not that many; it depends on the season. In summer it's quite busy.
DeleteMiss those lovely old towns.
ReplyDeleteI don't visit them enough.
DeleteBeautiful, each and every one. France should be proud of their stunning country but, they are not so good when it comes to music 😱 XXXX
ReplyDeleteDreadful music. As for the architecture, I suppose we take it all too much for granted.
DeleteLovely xx
ReplyDeleteSure is.
DeleteNice villages, shame about the editing.
ReplyDeleteAnd the awful 'music'.
DeleteHave only been to Paris... and that only for a weekend. But enjoyed the video (turned off the music about a third of the way through).
ReplyDeleteThere's not much left of early Paris. Most of the bastide towns date from around 1270. There's a lovely sense of age here.
