"Medieval Times"!

A view of Cordieliers from across the street through the trees...

The rose garden in the "Jardins Zig-Zag".

The shining sun and warm temperatures made it easy to spend Monday wondering the streets and sights of the medieval town of Gourdon.

We walked up the many steps to the "Table d' Orientation" where the Castle once stood and now 

provides a 360 degree panoramic view of Gourdon and the surrounding countryside.

We then discovered the "Jardins Zig-Zag", medieval inspired gardens on the site of ruined houses. These gardens are the result of the efforts of a volunteer group "Vertus Vertes" in partnership with the town of Gourdon.

The bandstand amidst the trees.

The first weekend in August the town is a buzz with activity and returns to medieval times!

Some of Our Favorite Postcards and Correction Notice!

I was trying to enlarge some photos and in doing so, some of the posts ended up getting moved out of order....the first three posts are older stories...the most recent posts start at:

Making the Most of our Last Days in France

Last Hurrah in Gourdon

We also wanted to share some of our favorite photo postcards of our times in the Lot and Dordogne Valley and also some special times in Collioure on the Mediterranean...the photos are not in any particular order.

This is our final post.
