the landscape around it is on the boring side, which is why you arrive in this village extra beautifully

Monpazier is a charming little town in the Dordogne, southwest France, that takes you straight back to the Middle Ages. It was founded in 1284 and looks almost exactly the same today as it did then. The market square with its old market hall, where you can buy fresh, local delicacies, is particularly special. The narrow streets and old stone houses make the town super cozy. When you stroll through Monpazier, you feel like you're in another time, and there are plenty of small shops and cafés that invite you to linger. A really special place! https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monpazier?wprov=sfti1 https://maps.app.goo.gl/CiQMURpJUSA7vrMEA?g_st=ic

Magnificent bastide

Beautiful bastide town with a large hall and a beautiful Romanesque-Gothic church

.

The streets run parallel to the long side and are crossed by four cross streets. The whole village consists of rectangular blocks where all houses were originally the same size. When walking through the village, this tight layout still gives a strange feeling. This strictness does not belong to a French village. I also had that feeling about the new part of Carcassonne and Villefranche de Conflent.

The history of Monpazier goes back to the thirteenth century. Although France was the largest and economically strongest country in Western Europe at this time, the country's situation was not really good. The English king Edward I thought he was also the French king, where he also had a legal point, and started a war in which he took control of large parts of France.

Monpazier is located in the beautiful region between the Dordogne and the Lot and is one of the most beautiful bastide villages in the Périgord. A look at the map of the village does not at all remind you of a medieval village. Where you would expect an organically built settlement with narrow streets and winding alleyways, Monpazier has clean lines and uniformity that are more reminiscent of a Roman army. It is also strange that the village was not founded by the French at all, but by an English king.
