Circuit découverte de Monpazier. Plus beaux villages de France

Description

Monpazier is a fortified town founded in 1284, under the reign of the King of England, Duke of Aquitaine Edward I. Eight centuries after its creation, its initial plan has been preserved despite the horrors of the Hundred Years War, famine and epidemics. This rectangular plan developed around the Place des Cornières, surrounded by houses built between the 13th and 17th centuries. With its galleries with Gothic arcades, the square still has its old market hall. This fortified town was surrounded by ramparts and was entered through 8 guarded gates. Only 3 gates still exist today. Inside the bastides, the inhabitants were free. Thus, girls could marry whoever they wanted without asking the lord. Boys did not need a dowry to enter the orders. To settle in the bastide, one had to be able to pay a tax.
