Great thread !
I'm ashamed of being unaware of such marvels in my own country. |
I love those little streets. Thanks for the photos.
|
beautiful. straight out of a fairy tale. thanks for sharing.
|
C'est vraiment quelque chose qu'on a pas ici en Amerique! Incroyable!
|
Fantastic!
|
now that was lovely....
|
Such beautiful towns. But the smaller ones with hardly any people are creepy...
|
Je suis tellement ravi!

If it means empty it's because I went there during off season period, and it was out of the "tourist big way traffic", even if people live there, or if it means scary, yes I think so too, for sure at night, it could probably be used as a set for a Jack the ripper's movie! Quote:

Ethereal outgrowths of urbanity that are the palimpsest of an age of architectural magnificence and human scale. Beautiful.
And Ms. Baker's castle is extraordinary. |
Very nice. Fine examples of classic French architecture. Looks like something straight out of a movie.

À quand un thread sur Saint-Étienne? Cette ville industrielle m'a toujours intrigué, d'autant plus qu'un de mes groupes de musique favori vient de la (mickey3d)...

I remember being there as a kid, and it was the highlight of my French trips : so romanesque, so many castles, caves, untouched medieval villages, and the setting... with these golden cliffs, dark forests and curving rivers. the Dordogne is knowned as the most beautiful river in France. and the food!! I am still fascinated by Périgord. thanks for the pics.
the best view of the area was from the little town of Domme. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2217/...2fc093d0_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/1215220...th/2168483939/ “Actually it must have been a paradise for many thousands of years. I believe it must have been so for the Cro-Magnon man, despite the fossilized evidences of the great caves which point to a condition of life rather bewildering and terrifying. I believe that the Cro-Magnon man settled here because he was extremely intelligent and had a highly developed sense of beauty. I believe that in him the religious sense was already highly developed and that it flourished here even if he lived like an animal in the depths of the caves. I believe that this great peaceful region of France will always be a sacred spot for man and that when the cities have killed off the poets this will be the refuge and the cradle of the poets to come. I repeat, it was most important for me to have seen the Dordogne: it gives me hope for the future of the race, for the future of the earth itself. France may one day exist no more, but the Dordogne will live on just as dreams live on and nourish the souls of men.” Henry Miller, 1958, in 'The Colossus of Maroussi' |

Y a-t-il des choses que tu souhaiterais voir plus particulièrement, sachant que le côté industriel de la ville a plus ou moins disparu ? Dans le cas contraire j'essaierai de faire un thread qui résume le mieux possible tous les visages de la ville. Merci pour ton commentaire :) Translation for English readers: I had planned to post a thread on my home town St Etienne, however, I had little doubt about the interest for a mainly North American forum. As you are interested I'll post one, you'll have to wait because I have no picture in stock, but as I live downtown it should be easy... (It's always the city you live in, the least known and appreciated) Is there something you would like to see more specifically, knowing that the industrial side of the city has more or less disappeared? Otherwise I will try to make a thread which summarizes the best possible all faces of the city. |
Wow.. it's awesome that these places are still so secluded.
Great tour. |
pics 13 and 14 are not Monpazier?

I have some other shots like the one you posted but it will be for tomorrow because it's late in France so I'm going to bed. Thanks for these good comments. :tup: |
Sandy -- these are fabulous. Thank you!
