Street Views in Provence, Le Barroux, the Castle




Over the years, on the many walks through small villages in Provence I took photos of street views. Some of the houses, windows and doors are beautifully decorated with flowers and plants, and I can never get past them without taking pictures.
Over the next couple of weeks, this is what I intend to share on Thursdays ....





Last week I showed you a street view from Le Barroux, and this week I'm taking you all the way to the top of this little sleepy village.






All the way up, overlooking the village is this huge twelfth century castle which was rebuilt in the 16th century and restored in 1960.

  6. It is just so beautiful and reminds me a bit of San Gimignano in Italy. I loved it there. I think I would love Provence too.
