13 September.  Morning cool and foggy

Sitting in this bastide town 13th century. Sent a reference yesterday for the medievalists.  It is far far better in person.  Totally deserted now as the few shops have not opened. Waiting for coffee and the QB walking here. Had to see this place together.

The church is the best example I have seen of pre Gothic design.  Vertical walls with small windows ( it was believed that walls could not support a large window ) rounded arches.

Took no pictures here as it would be wasted on my Nexus. QB has the camera pics. 

Moat is complete as are all the buildings. Hard to know how much restoration was done.  Like a perfect picture village for a Renaissance Faire. 

Did some zigzag riding, apparently a French word too, some closed château with a garden like those done by Notre. 

Onto Monreal with its arcades and many pelerins converging before going to our Residence d’hote which turned. Out to be a very modern and comfortable time share apartment.
