Ici & La Nature - Pictures of hiking tours in France and Europe's avatarICI & LA NATURE PICTURES

In the heart of Provence, this charming village enjoys a real provençal art de vivre : wander along the boulevards under the plane-tree shade, stroll around the narrow streets, find out a square where a fountain gently gurgles, the attractive boutiques and the Art galeries bring life to this town center.

Take a seat at a café or a restaurant terrace and taste the aromatic local cuisine. Getting to Saint Rémy de Provence  also means taking advantage of the Natural Park of the Alpilles

If you get there you will understand how this magic environment where the sun shines more than 300 days per year has enchanted so many people, including well-known personalities.

France -A Walk in Perigord : Castelnau – Bretenoux Castle in the Dordogne Valley – 30 photos

Thank you for sharing.

Ici & La Nature - Pictures of hiking tours in France and Europe's avatarICI & LA NATURE PICTURES

This impressive fortified and medieval Castle of Castelnau-Btretenoux is one of the most impressive in the Quercy region, it has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1862.

The building of this monument began about 1100, by Hugues, baron of Castelnau, who wanted to protect his manor.

The castle was enlarged several times between the 12th and the 15th century, when it was necessary to adapt the fortifications to artillery.

This Castle enjoys a lovely scenic countryside in the surroundings as well as many of the most beautiful villages of France.

These pictures have been taken at the beginning of the Spring : the trees are still with no leaves but the flowers just start to bloom.
