Believe it or not, there was a time when the French southwest was colonized, just like the the American Far West. Garrisons were built and small villages were started to encourage migration.
That was 800 years ago! Romantic remnants of a violent past, these villages entrance us today, with the organic beauty of their construction. For they evolved in the landscape, through centuries upon centuries of refinement and adaptation.
Voted *France's favorite village*, Cordes-sur-Ciel is one of the lucky ones: despite years of wars and conflict all around, it was never razed, so its stones and its wealth accumulated without a great rupture. It shows!
