More walking through Cordes.  Very sorry that the images are no longer with us.  Some important points:

  • Albigensian Crusade:  a genocide of the Cathars ordered by Pope Innocent III
  • Pastel:  made from a local plant (woad) that made Cordes rich
  • Valleys and hills:  all formed by erosion of softer limestones
  • Bastide:  a heavily defended market town 
  • Planol:  between the 4th and 5th walls
  • Lavoir:  where village women congregated to wash their laundry
  • Charles Portal Museum:  see weaving machine in the basement
  • Callipyge:  where the piano is located
