Take a tour of French Village of Monpazier in Monpazier, France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Concealed in the Dordogne region of Southwest France is a vintage town out of the medieval era known as Monpazier.
The plaza at the heart of the town is the centerpiece around which the entire grid structure of the city is based.
The medieval buildings built of sandstone, blocks of stone with wood panels, and lovely arches are laid out around the town.
Its humble origins as a 13th century bastide have ensured its immaculate layout has lasted through the centuries.
The medieval architecture retained by the gorgeous stones and vibrantly painted wooden shutters exude warmth and charisma.
A testament to the importance of this small town is its recent honor of being deemed a National Heritage Site, which has meant its permanent preservation.
