An impressive structure. I heard recently that there is in France a project where craftsmen build a castle, with those very means by which the time castles were built ... A fantastic photo, Jean-Claude!

Oh la la, il est bien temps de le restaurer avant qu'il ne soit trop tard,et qu'un nouveau pan d'histoire ne s'écroule. L'emplacement défensif était très bien choisi, mais hélas il est difficile de s'imaginer toute la splendeur des murailles d'alors - et l'impression d'écrasement des villageois. Avec ta photo on voit par contre que le village a su résister au temps. Un sacré contraste.
