West of Condom are several Bastides which are medievil walled towns fortified during the 100 years war between England and France. We visited two - Larrasingle and Forces.

The moat at Larrasingle filled with daisies. Unlike most of the towns in rural France, Larrasingle was more museum than town.

Of course even towns that are museums have to have a cafe !

Eliza and Catherine at the entrance to the town of Forces - a completely circular Bastide.

Undercover parking - medievil style.

A clash of old and new - two dreadlocked guys drinking longnecks playing boules in the square (or circle in the case of this town) with scruffy dogs looking on.
