Recently, I have two friends from Australia who decided to come and visit France. So we took the (albeit weird) option to go on a road trip in the South of France. And boy we didn’t regret it.
Main street of Cordes
Beside stinky cheese, what Australians (and Americans) don’t have so much is historical landmarks.
So it became quite emotional to drive across the South of France by places that still bear signs of Roman and Medieval history.
In particular, the South-West of France used to be a major region in the Medieval times, being also the place of origin to many of the Templar knights.
View of the hills surrounding Cordes
One of the villages we visited was Cordes. Built in the 13th century, this village seems to have passed the centuries with little changes.
When visiting this place, one can’t help thinking of how life could have been at that time. When streets were crowded with knights, merchants and peasants.
