Moving to the North of Montauban will mean living in a region called Quercy, full of history and, well, loads of Bastides.
Nah, not swearing, simply a description of a fortified town built in the middle ages, of which, incidentally, Montauban was one of the first. There are bucket-loads of them around here including Puycelci, Bruniquel, Codes-sur-ciel all of which we have visited many times. This time it was the turn of Lauzerte, a first for us, a Bastide only 25 minutes from our new pad. There are many more…
This Bastide is full of varied and stunning architecture with a beautiful central square..
beautiful houses…
lots of colours…
and steeped in history. For more on the history and loads more photos, click here.
It is yet another fascinating place to soak up the atmosphere, and a couple of beers…
That’s Annick and Ruth slurping and absorbing…
I love this place.
