Here's a French village I visited (a medieval bastide built by the King of France), would you like to see it?

[purplepoppy]

Bastides are a south France thing aren't they? We've got medieval walled towns here but not as well preserved and a lot were sadly demolished in the 18century.

[Julie4]

Indeed we have many in the south. Oh very interesting photo. Even if they are not necessarily well preserved I find it great that it is still present in Wales. Thanks for sharing.

Are you asking for a man's opinion? Everyone is different, but I think many men are interested in castles. Probably quite a few played with such toys or games when they were younger. I've been to a few castles in Europe and Asia. I'd like to see more.

This is the Sultan Ahmet Mosque built in Istanbul in 1617.

[Julie4]

Yes, it s beautiful , but what does that have to do with my question? Lol.

[greenice27]

The French village is magnificent. Thank you very much for sharing the photos of this village. In addition, I like to introduce the historical buildings of my own country.

[andreasderjuengere]

I wish I could see all of them. I was lucky enough to see a few - with, and without a bastide (Hautes Alpes, Cevennes, Ardeche )

[RavVid]

Always up for a fortified town. Looks very cool.

[molonski2]

WOW , the complete history of Europe , sensational.

[Andres77]

Ryan, that would be wonderful couple days worth of exploration.

[DaBiggestBird]

Which King? Also this is pretty cool, we got done learning about the French Revolution a month or so ago

[KostasKouvalis]

That looks more like a small town than a village, but I like it yes, it's very pretty.

[Julie4]

Yes, it's not very big, but it's absolutely beautiful. I couldn't show you all the beautiful corners of this village. As I said to Ryan, it was like a trip back in time, very traditional, with these beautiful streets and houses, and I ate in a traditional restaurant, which was delicious.

The village is perched on a cliff 210 m

[KostasKouvalis]

Domme

[KostasKouvalis]

You didn't visit the cave?

[Julie4]

No, I didn't have the time, I only stayed a day, as I was going to see my sister who was hospitalized there, and I took the opportunity to visit the neighboring villages, which are also very beautiful.

[KostasKouvalis]

I know, I saw that. I'm surprised a place like this has a specialist like that. Shame it wasn't under different circumstances, but it's still nice that you got to see it.

[Julie4]

Yes it wasn't a good circumstances but I'm glad I saw it.

[RyanEC]

It looks like a beautiful place to spend a day or two getting lost in. 😊

[RyanEC]

When did you go there?

[Julie4]

I couldn't put up all the beautiful photos of this village. It's like traveling back in time, it's so beautiful, and I ate in a traditional restaurant that was delicious.

I went there in August to visit my sister who was in hospital there, because she has fibromyalgia and only they have something specialized.

[KostasKouvalis]

There you go, you can add it to your itinerary

[RyanEC]

I hope your sister is well now.

[RyanEC]

It does look like a city I could imagine looking very similar in the medieval era.

[Julie4]

Thank you for my sister.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would like to visit that village, it looks awesome.

[Iron_Man]

Would you take me and my friend and show us around?

[Iron_Man]

If we came there

[BoopBoopBeep]

That's really pretty.

[Julie4]

It is, it's even prettier in person. Unfortunately I only went there for a day, I thought to enjoy but not learn my own photos, but there would be much more , to show admirably pretty.

[Kaneki05]

As English man this does not impress me xD

[strateguy632]

[zagor]

[Julie4]

[Anonymous]

I am getting flashback haha

[Sunnybeach123]

Normandy?

[Julie4]

No , Dordogne

[Sunnybeach123]

Wow, I was so wrong lol

[Julie4]

It's not your fault. I didn't say where lol

[Sunnybeach123]

Are you from there?

[Julie4]

No, I'm from Gironde.

[Sunnybeach123]

Ah, so near Bordeaux. I lived in France for a long time but I never had a chance to visit Gironde the Dordogne. I saw mostly ile de France, Brittany, Normandy and Provence and Nice.

[Julie4]

Many pretty endroits. Where do you come from, why did you come to France and how long did you stay in France?

Did you enjoy your experience living in France?

[Sunnybeach123]

I come from the East US but my parents got divorced and my mom married my step father (who is French and was working in the US at the time) when I was 8 years old.

When my step father moved back to France, my mom, sister and I moved there with him. We lived in Paris most of the time (we kept moving around... I lived in several different parts of Paris over the years) and Nice, where we have an apartment there.

I've lived in France for four years, off and on, and I love France and especially Paris, since I lived everywhere, there). I know and love Paris better than any other city in the world.

I haven't gotten a chance to use my French for a while, it has gotten a little rusty, grrrr

[Julie4]

Très intéressant, merci beaucoup pour le partage 🙂

[Sunnybeach123]

De rien 🙂
