Thank you photophile for visiting.
Excellent set. It all brings back memories of work assignments in France for lengthy time periods. Thanks for showing.
Beautiful set. Is some of that stonework on the church original?

Thanks NMGal - I just looked up the description of the church on Wiki - sounds like part of the church were renovated in the 17th and 18th century, so part of the walls might be original.
I enjoyed seeing this place thanks to your clear photos.
I know that area very well and you captured the atmosphere spot on.
All nice photos--my favorites are six, seven and eight.
