A medieval village

I meant to add the following post and photos several days ago but things got a little hectic here. Anything new??Anyway, after we left Paris, we went to a little village called Donzenac, somewhere in the middle of France between the towns of Limoges and Brive, where one of my nieces lives.









As most old villages in France, the houses at the heart of the village are all clumped up around the church. The streets are very narrow and the medieval architecture is still visible with stone gates and houses with visible cross-beams and second floor that juts out on the street
.











Since the village is at the top of a hill, the view is beautiful, even in the middle of winter. And check out the elementary school, not medieval obviously, but a gorgeous building!
