Is that a draw bridge? But really?
This past last week we've been going to lots of old medieval towns with remnants of towns and villages. There's just something magical about seeing the old ruins not being torn down, but built upon. They're trying to keep the history that those bricks and mortar have lived to seen. (The drawbridge has been added, sadly. Right Tammy?)
These photos are from Entreveux, where we hiked up to the top to the castles ruins.
On top of the castle
Hiking up there!
I just, these archways....
This was part of the little town that was built beneath the ruins.
These are from St. Paul Vince
This was in a Cathedral. They took tiny pieces of glass and created Christ's birth. So amazing!
Here's our friendly French man! We walked into this little shop because he was painting and it was so BEAUTIFUL! The French love their privacy, so Gus asked him nicely in French if he could take a picture. He could hear his American accent and began to speak to us in English, and said of course he could. He then told us how he gets his inspiration for his pictures. This shows that the French are changing, and are becoming a more open culture, little by little. Meeting him was quite wonderful!
