Description
Ventabren
(Bouches du Rhône - France)
Ventabren est un très joli village perché au sommet d'une colline dominée par les ruines du château de la Reine Jeanne. Vous serez rapidement sous le charme de ses petites ruelles pavées et fleuries, bordées de belles maisons en pierre restaurées avec soin.Vous emprunterez la Grande Rue (qui est en fait très petite) qui monte en calade jusqu'à la coquette petite Place de l'Eglise.
Les portes des maisons sont souvent anciennes, encadrées d'une généreuse végétation, de volets repeints avec goût dans les tons provençaux, un peu délavé par le soleil. Vous découvrirez de belles fontaines et lavoirs et une église du XVII°. Vous ne manquerez pas d'aller voir les ruines du château de la Reine Jeanne, du pied des ruines vous aurez un large panorama sur l'Etang de Berre (qui ressemble à un petit lac), la chaîne de l'Etoile et Vitrolles.

Ventabren is a very pretty village, perched at the top of a hill and dominated by the ruins of the Château of Queen Jeanne. In the village you will quickly fall under the spell of the little cobbled, streets, full of flowers and lined by beautiful stone houses which have been painstakingly restored. You will come to the Grande Rue (which is actually very small!) climbing steeply up to the charming little Place de l’Eglise.
Many of the doors of the houses are very old, flanked by lush greenery and shutters which have been repainted in traditional Provençal tones, already a little faded by the sun. You will find pretty fountains and wash-houses and a 17th-century church. Make sure you visit the ruins of the Château of Queen Jeanne. From the foot of the ruins you can enjoy a wide panoramic view over the Etang de Berre (which looks like a tiny lake from here), the Etoile chain and Vitrolles.

You always find the most interesting corners and povs for your images. I always enjoy them. This is lovely!

I don't know if it's the use of space or the impression of change over time that I find so wonderful and interesting about old villages. I can imagine that arch on the left once over an ornate entry way, the stairs in the center not there yet, and the door above the arch as a window before being extended to the floor and made into a doorway. Wonderful photo!

You did it again. Once again a neat picture of a pituresque village.
